Air Fryer Crispy Tofu

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3.5(ZReboot3.5) recipe.

Dieter Claire brings us this fabulous recipe for air-fried tofu and veggies. She took the Plan Z General Tso recipe’s sauce and combined them to make a mighty tasty dish. Thank you, Claire!

Servings: Serves 4.

Ingredients:

• 1 pkg Extra Firm Tofu
• 2 Tbl Bragg’s Aminos
• 1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 2 Tbl Cornstarch
• Assorted veggies
• Plan Z General Tso Sauce or any approved sauce you like.*

Instructions:

Drain fluid from tofu packaging and cut tofu into one-inch cubes. Drain cubes on paper towels. I tend to not plan ahead so I press lightly on cubes with paper towels to absorb as much liquid as possible. The key to tasty tofu is to get rid of the excess liquid so it can absorb the marinade/sauce. Place cubes in a bowl.

Mix together Bragg’s, garlic, and sesame oil. Pour over tofu. Toss gently to coat all pieces. Let sit for five to twenty minutes. No time to wait? Move on to the next step – it will be OK.

Measure cornstarch into a sifter. Sift over cubes, toss gently, and sift some more. The key is to aim for an even-ish coating.

Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees. When ready, place cubes in a single layer. Cook for 15 minutes, turning cubes over at the halfway point. Aim for a golden color.

Remove from air fryer basket and place in a covered bowl to keep warm.

Cook your veggies in the air fryer too! Spritz with olive oil. It takes about five minutes at 360 degrees to tender-crisp onion slices and peppers.

*While your tofu is cooking make your General Tso sauce or other sauce. I added extra grated ginger and fresh garlic to mine to make it spicier.

Enjoy!

Cheers and thanks again, Claire!
