I love tofu and I love using my air fryer so, for those reasons, I was so delighted when I came across an air fryer tofu recipe on TikTok. And what got me more was that they’re crispy. I had to try them immediately. After tweaking it a little bit, here’s the finish product.
This crispy air fryer tofu recipe only needs three ingredients and it’s so easy and quick to prepare. You can enjoy this in as little as 30 minutes or less.
I am the only one who enjoys tofu over here. My husband and son are not fans at all. My husband did try one after I told him that it’s really good and crispy. I think the crispy thing made him curious, but it didn’t change his mind. He still doesn’t like tofu! 🙂
Here’s the recipe for you to try. You can dip it in any dip you like, but I like it as it is. You may add salt and pepper, too, if you prefer.
Ingredients:
- 1 block Tofu
- 3 tbsp. soy sauce
- 2 tbsp. sesame oil
Instructions:
- Using paper towels, keep the moisture out of the tofu.
- Slice the tofu in about 2-inch bite size pieces to make 16 pieces.
- Place tofu pieces in a bowl.
- Season with soy sauce and sesame oil then toss. Make sure all tofu pieces are well coated.
- Place tofu pieces in air fryer in one single layer and air fry at 400 for 20 minutes. Flip halfway through.
- Enjoy!
Look at that! Can you tell how crispy they were? They were crispy on the outside but soft in the inside. So good!
I just love tofu. I actually have this favorite rice bowl from an Asian Fusion restaurant here that has tofu in it that I can’t get enough of. I’ll never get tired of that delicious rice bowl.
How about you? Do you like tofu? Tell me about it.
Happy Foodie Friday, friends!

A healthier way to enjoy tofu! Less oil, more flavor. I am going to try this recipe. I have to put my new air fryer to use.
Melanie Edjourian says
I think that’s such a great idea. It completely changes the normal texture which I hear many don’t like. I bet this is yummy.
Marysa says
This sounds delicious, and a great way to cook tofu. We usually fry or grill it and it would be nice to try making it in the air fryer.
