• servings: 16 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

28 oz Soft tofu, or Fresh tofu (see notes)

Avocado oil spray (or neutral-flavored oil)

cucumber, carrots (sliced into matchsticks), and baby romaine lettuce

0.3 oz ginger (grated)

4 tbsp white miso paste or yellow miso (chickpea miso for soy-free)

1 tsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos)

5 tbsp rice vinegar

1 ½ tsp maple syrup

1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

4 tbsp avocado oil (or neutral flavored oil)

Directions

Tofu prep:

Open the tofu package: Insert a small paring knife into a corner of the plastic seal. Carefully cut along the edge of the carton and tilt it over the sink to drain the excess liquid.

Pat dry: Carefully transfer the tofu to a cutting board and gently pat it dry with paper towels on all sides.

Slice the tofu: Cut each block of tofu into 8-10 equal-sized chunks, about 1 inch (2.54 cm) thick per slice.

Spray oil

Prepare the air fryer basket: Line it with an air fryer liner or a thin piece of parchment paper and spray with oil. Place the tofu chunks into the basket with some space between them, and spray a thin layer of oil on top.

Air fry:

Air fry: At 400°F (204°C) for 15 minutes. Remove the tofu, let it rest for 10 seconds to let the moisture evaporate, then carefully flip the tofu. Spray with more oil on top and air fry for another 15 minutes.

Oven:

To bake: At 425°F (218°C) for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
