INSTRUCTIONS
Start your air-fryer at 350F (180C). Tofu should be cubed and ready. After sitting, the sauce can thicken and make tofu coating difficult.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Step 1
After preparing the tofu, mix the cornstarch, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, and cayenne in a large bowl to make a thick paste. Gently toss to coat tofu cubes.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Step 2
For best airflow, spray the heated fryer basket with spray oil and place the tofu in a single layer with space between each cube.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Step 3
Shake the tofu once or twice during air-frying for 20 minutes until golden.

Step 4
Serve hot, refrigerate in an airtight container, or freeze. Options abound for mains, nuggets, salads, sandwiches, tacos, pasta, and nachos!
