Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 37kcal
Ingredients
- 14 oz extra firm tofu (or high protein tofu. If using extra firm tofu, press out the water).
- 1 teaspoon paprika (or cayenne, which will add more heat than paprika)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- ½ teaspoon avocado oil or any neutral oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Cut the tofu lengthwise into four slabs, then cut each slab into 12 cubes.
- Place the tofu and all marinade ingredients in a bowl, toss to mix. You can air-fry the tofu rightaway or, if you have the time, let it stand for 30 minutes.
- Place the tofu in a single layer in the air fryer basket, with a bit of space between each cube, and insert it in the air fryer. You might need to do this in two batches..
- Air-fry the tofu for 12 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit/190 degrees Celsius. Halfway through air frying remove the basket and toss the tofu cubes around. This helps the tofu cubes crisp up evenly.
