Ingredients

Servings
  • 14 oz tofu extra firm
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt fine kosher
  • 1 -2 tbsp olive oil

Honey Garlic Sauce:

  • 2/3 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 2 tsp sesame oil toasted
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds toasted
  • rice to serve with, optional, cooked rice of choice, or steamed veggies
  • green onion
  • vegetable

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400ºF for 4-5 minutes.
  2. Cover the tofu in a paper towel and gently press to remove the excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
  3. Place the tofu cubes in a large bowl and sprinkle with the seasonings. Gently toss to evenly coat each piece, then drizzle with the oil or spray with cooking oil spray.
  4. Transfer the tofu to the preheated air fryer and fry for 16-18 minutes, shaking halfway.
  5. Meanwhile, in a pan whisk all the honey garlic sauce ingredients and place over medium-low heat. Simmer for a couple of minutes, until thickened.
  6. Once the tofu is done cooking, transfer it to the pan with the honey-garlic sauce and stir to coat.
  7. Serve over cooked rice with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and green onions or a side of steamed veggies, if desired.

Notes

  • Add any leftovers to an airtight container and place it in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Rewarm in the air fryer, in a skillet on the stovetop or pop it in the microwave to reheat. Reheating tofu in the air fryer or skillet will crisp it up the best.
