This tofu is one of those snacks that’s hard to stop eating. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavour in every bite. It’s a plant-based twist on a classic comfort snack, but so much lighter, thanks to the air fryer. You can dip it, toss it in a sauce, or just enjoy it straight out of the basket (no judgment). Whether it’s for a quick snack, a party, or even dinner, this tofu is guaranteed to hit the spot.

Gosh we're so happy to hear this, Manucrw! Such a massive compliment 😃

Delicious! The batch I made was a bit too much for one sitting. The next day the leftovers were a bit soggy/spongy (naturally). I tossed them in the airfryer again for 3 mins on 180 Celsius and they came out crispy again!

Best air fryer tofu I've had. Went oil-free with this one, and it crisped up perfectly.

Yay finally some airfryer recipes! I hope you do a ton more or even just modify existing ones for the airfyer!

I like the crunch! Tried it today for my parents and I. Nice flavor combo!

Could we try it in the conventional oven?

Great question, Savvas! We haven’t tested this one in the oven ourselves yet, but it should still work well. Try baking the tofu on a lined tray at 200°C (400°F), flipping halfway through, and keep an eye on it - it might take around 20 - 25 minutes, depending on your oven. If it looks like it’s browning too quickly, you can lower the heat slightly for the second half. If you end up giving it a go, let us know how it turns out! 😊
