Air Fryer Tofu

January 18, 2020

Crispy on the outside, chewy and soft inside, this air fryer tofu makes a great addition to salads, stews, wraps and an assortment of Indian dishes. It’s also a delicious snack by itself. Below I share with you two ways to make delicious air fried tofu. It takes hardly any prep and all of 18 minutes from start to finish in an air fryer, hardly any oil needed.

I bought myself an air fryer this holiday season.

I had been resisting getting one simply because I didn’t think I had room in my kitchen for one more thing (I don’t), but an air fryer? An appliance that fries with hardly any oil and does it in minutes? An appliance that’s going to make all of my weight loss dreams come true in 2020? And best of all, an appliance that’s on a really good sale? I’d have to be a fool to turn that down. 😉
