Air Fryer Tofu

Ingredients

• 16 oz super firm or extra firm tofu (If using extra firm tofu, squeeze out as much water as you can).
• ½ teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon paprika (or cayenne, which will add more heat than paprika)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 teaspoon grated garlic)
• ½ teaspoon vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. Cut the tofu lengthwise into four slabs, then cut each slab into 12 cubes.
2. Place the tofu and all marinade ingredients in a bowl, toss to mix. You can air-fry the tofu rightaway or, if you have the time, let it stand for 30 minutes.
3. Place the tofu in a single layer in the air fryer basket, with a bit of space between each cube, and insert it in the air fryer. You might need to do this in two batches..
4. Air-fry the tofu for 12 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Halfway through air frying remove the basket and toss the tofu cubes around. This is not absolutely necessary but it helps ensure the tofu cooks evenly.
5. Serve the air-fried tofu as a snack with a creamy mayo or other dipping sauce, or toss it into stews, curries, wraps, salads and more.
