Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz extra-firm tofu pressed and cubed
  • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  2. Toss tofu with soy sauce, then add cornstarch and seasonings and toss gently until coated.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Arrange tofu in a single layer and spray lightly.
  4. Air fry 5 minutes, flip, spray again, and cook 3 to 5 minutes more until crisp.
