Crispy Air Fryer Tofu & Veggies with Rice: Your New Go-To High-Protein Meal

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Press the extra-firm tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess water. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine cubed tofu with 1 tablespoon olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
3. 3

   In a separate bowl, toss broccoli florets and sliced carrots with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.
4. 4

   Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
5. 5

   Arrange seasoned tofu in a single layer in the air fryer basket (cook in batches if necessary). Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
6. 6

   Add seasoned broccoli and carrots to the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-15 minutes, shaking once or twice, until tender-crisp and slightly charred.
7. 7

   While tofu and veggies cook, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, maple syrup, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sriracha (if using) in a small bowl for the sauce.
8. 8

   Once tofu and vegetables are cooked, return them to the large bowl. Pour the sauce over and toss gently to coat.
9. 9

   Serve immediately over hot cooked rice, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
