Air Fryer Tofu Ingredients:
- 250 g Natural Tofu
- 60 ml lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp Garlic puree
- 1 Tbsp parsley
- 1 Tbsp basil
- 1 Tbsp harissa
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Remove your tofu from its packaging and cut into long slices. Place a tea towel on a large tea towel, add the tofu, add another tea towel on top and then place a heavy casserole dish over it. Put the tofu to one side for two hours while the tofu moisture is pressed out of the tofu.
- In one bowl add the lemon juice and the garlic puree and mix.
- In another bowl add the rest of your seasonings and mix well.
- When the two hours are up discard the tea towels and the casserole dish and place your tofu on a chopping board. Cut into cubes and then toss in the lemon and garlic.
- Then toss in the dried rub until every piece of tofu is well coated.
- Place in the air fryer basket and air fry for 6 minutes at 180c/360f.
- Shake the air fryer and cook for a further 4 minutes at 200c/400f and then serve.

Notes
- Swaps. I have gone with a classic Mediterranean flavouring on my tofu. Though you can add whatever you like. Just focus on wet first, then a dry rub.
- Crispy. If you like your tofu very crispy, then I recommend you add an extra 3 minutes at the end.
