Tips

  • Squeeze out excess liquid from the tofu for crispier results; you can also use a tofu press or a makeshift press.
  • Tear the tofu apart instead of cutting it into cubes for crispier texture.
  • Cornstarch helps make the tofu even more crispy.
  • Adjust cooking time for tofu in the air fryer as needed, checking and shaking every 10 minutes.
