Air Fry Tofu Recipe

Składniki

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder, divided

• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided

• 1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika

• 1 teaspoon oregano

• Juice of 1 lemon

• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided

• 1 block extra firm tofu

Wskazówki

1. Add the garlic to a bowl with the olive oil, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, sweet paprika, oregano, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

2. Cut the tofu into cubes and add to the bowl to fully coat in the dressing.

3. In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

4. Add the tofu slices to the breadcrumb mixture and coat fully on all sides.

5. Place the tofu in an even row on a lined air fryer sheet and spray with olive oil.

6. Preheat an air fryer to 425°F and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the tofu is golden brown and crispy. (You can also cook in a conventional oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes.)

7. Use the crispy tofu on top of salads for extra protein.

Notatki

Optional - coat in breadcrumbs after marinade before air frying

Also, I add a splash of white vinegar and olive oil to leftover marinade bowl and use as salad dressing. Add romaine, sliced almonds and dried edamame to bowl with tofu once cooled.
