Crispy Air Fryer Tofu with Garlic-Lime Sauce Makes 2 servings Prep: 15–20 minutes | Cook: 15–20 minutes Tofu ingredients 1 block firm or extra-firm tofu, 14–16 oz 1 tablespoon cornstarch 2 teaspoons olive or avocado oil ½ teaspoon garlic powder ½ teaspoon smoked paprika ¼ teaspoon black pepper Garlic-lime sauce 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 1 teaspoon sesame oil 1 small garlic clove, finely minced ¼ teaspoon ground ginger or ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger 1–2 teaspoons water, to taste Optional: pinch of chili flakes Directions Prepare the tofu. Drain and press for 15–20 minutes. Pat dry, then cut into approximately 1-inch cubes. Season. Gently toss the tofu with the oil, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper. Coat. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the tofu and toss gently until evenly coated. Air fry. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F if your model requires it. Arrange tofu in a single layer with a little space between pieces. Cook for 15–20 minutes, shaking or turning halfway through, until golden and crispy. Cook in batches if needed. Make the sauce. Whisk together all sauce ingredients while the tofu cooks. Add water to soften the flavor as desired. Serve. Drizzle a little sauce over the tofu immediately before eating, or serve it on the side for maximum crispiness. Make it a meal: Serve with broccoli or a green salad and ½ cup cooked brown rice per person. Crispiness tip: Dry tofu and space in the basket make the biggest difference. Add the sauce after cooking.
