Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, but for best texture, freeze the cooked tofu fillets without the drizzle and reheat in the air-fryer before serving.

Wrap tofu in a clean towel, place a heavy pan or object on top, and let sit for at least 10 minutes to remove excess moisture.

Absolutely! Vegan tartar sauce or a simple squeeze of lemon also pair well with these fillets.

Serve with roasted vegetables, a crisp green salad, or air-fried potato wedges for a complete meal.
