Creating Air Fryer Tofu is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Press the Tofu: Remove excess moisture from the tofu by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for about 15 minutes.
2. Cut the Tofu: After pressing, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes or slices, depending on your preference.
3. Make the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
4. Marinate the Tofu: Gently toss the tofu cubes in the marinade until evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes for maximum flavor.
5. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
6. Arrange the Tofu: Carefully place the marinated tofu in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded for even cooking.
7. Air Fry: Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crispiness.

Once cooked, you’ll have deliciously crispy Air Fryer Tofu ready to serve!
