Crispy Air Fryer Tofu

Golden, crunchy tofu with almost no oil — the air fryer does the work in 15 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 400 g firm tofu
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu for 10 minutes and cut into 2 cm cubes.
  2. Toss with soy sauce, then cornstarch and oil.
  3. Air fry at 200°C for 12–14 minutes, shaking halfway.
  4. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

💡 Chef's tip

Toss the cubes in 1 tsp cornstarch before air frying for an extra-crisp shell.

Pressing the tofu first is the single biggest factor in crispiness: less water means more crunch.
