Ingredients

  • 14 ounces extra firm tofu
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Prepare the tofu by wrapping it in paper towels, placing it between two plates, and putting something heavy on top for about 15 minutes. This will help to squeeze much of the excess water out.
  • Slice the tofu into 1" cubes, then toss with the cornstarch and garlic salt. (Or tear into pieces if you want a more organic "nugget" feel).
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Lightly oil the basket and add the tofu in a single layer.
  • Cook for 10–15 minutes, shaking once or twice, until the tofu is golden and crispy to your liking.
