Description

These tofu bites made in the air fryer are quick and easy to make and come out super crispy--perfect as a vegan snack, a topping for a salad, or added to a stir-fry dish.

Ingredients

8 ounces firm tofu
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce (such as Bragg®)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions

1 Place tofu onto a plate lined with several paper towels. Cover with more paper towels and another plate. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top and press tofu for 30 minutes; drain and discard any accumulated liquid and cut tofu into 1/2-inch cubes.
2 Combine soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, and sesame oil in a small bowl; mix well. Add tofu cubes and marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.
3 Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
4 Place tofu in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
5 Air fry for 5 minutes without shaking the fryer. Continue air frying, shaking occasionally, until browned, about 10 more minutes.
