Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by draining the tofu and patting it dry with paper towels. To get the best texture, wrap the tofu in fresh paper towels, put it on a plate, and place a heavy object on top to press out excess moisture. Let it sit like this for about 15 minutes.
While the tofu is being pressed, in a large mixing bowl, combine the turmeric powder, garlic powder, paprika, coconut aminos, olive oil, ground black pepper, and sea salt. Mix well to create the marinade.
Once the tofu is adequately pressed, cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Add the tofu cubes to the marinade bowl and gently toss to ensure each piece is well coated with the marinade. Let the tofu sit for a minimum of 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Place the marinated tofu cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Air fry the tofu for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time, until the tofu cubes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Transfer the crispy tofu to a serving plate and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve the Keto Air Fried Turmeric Garlic Tofu warm as a delicious low-carb snack or main dish.
