Made with just 10 ingredients and ready in 25 minutes, this Easy Air Fried Tofu recipe is a fuss-free recipe that results in crispy and tasty tofu that can be served as a side dish with your favorite sauces, in salads, and veggie bowls.

Ingredients

  • 1 block Extra Firm Tofu
  • 2 tsp Coriander powder
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Salt (you might need to add a 1/2 tsp more, for taste, when this is done)
  • 3 tbsp Arrowroot powder
  • 1 tsp cooking oil spray

Instructions

  • Remove the tofu from the container it comes in and drain it. Then, set it on a kitchen towel.
  • Add the arrowroot powder, coriander, smoked paprika, cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, turmeric, cinnamon, and salt to a bowl and mix well.
  • Then, cut the tofu block into tofu cubes or tear it apart into bite-sized pieces (like I did). Tearing the tofu gives it more ridges and nooks for the arrowroot and spices to stick to, making this tofu even more crispy).
  • Add the tofu into the bowl with the arrowroot powder and spices and toss it so the pieces of tofu are well coated.
  • Add the tofu to the air fryer and spray with any cooking oil spray you have.
  • Air fry the tofu at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes on one side. Using a spatula, carefully toss the hot tofu over, and air fry for another 10 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • When done, remove the tofu from the air fryer and let it sit for about 2-3 minutes. Then, enjoy it with your favorite sauces, dips, or chutney. My favorite dip for tofu cooked this way is a combination of honey mustard and BBQ sauces!
