Air Fryer Crispy Tofu Cubes

Ingredients

• 14 ounces firm tofu (pressed and cut into cubes)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (for marinating)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for coating)
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch (for crispiness)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for flavor)
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for smoky flavor)

Instructions

1. Press the tofu for at least 20 minutes to remove excess water, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
2. In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with soy sauce, olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
3. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
4. Place the tofu cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching.
5. Air fry for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
6. Remove the tofu cubes when golden and crispy. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
