Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can marinate the tofu up to a day ahead for even more flavor; just air-fry when ready to serve.

Use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce to make it gluten-free.

Broccoli florets or green beans are great alternatives and can be cooked the same way.

Press the tofu well before marinating and use extra-firm tofu for the best texture.
