Easy, flavorful air fryer tofu is perfectly crispy, just like deep fried, without cups and cups of oil. Serve it up with rice or noodles or on your dinner salad!
Toss the marinated tofu with the cornstarch, then pour into the basket of your air fryer. Cook on 370° F for 20 minutes, shaking after 10 minutes. See note about cooking time.
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Notes
For an oil-free option, use extra soy sauce. Reader Amy said on Facebook, "I made this with extra soy sauce as you said and it was fantastic!!! We will be eating this in lots of different things because it's so versatile and yummy. Thanks so much for your work. It's recipes like this one that become a staple and let me know I can do this and really love it!"About the marinade: Feel free to mix and match your marinade flavors! See the marinade section above for ideas. As long as you have 3-4 tablespoons of liquid in your marinade, it will work in this recipe. Every air fryer is different. I tested this recipe in my air fryer, but yours may cook at a different rate, because air fryers can vary so much by brand and style. Keep an eye on it, and be prepared to back off on cooking time or add a few minutes, if needed.
