Healthy Air Fryer Tofu

Air fryers shot up in popularity a few years ago as a much healthier alternative to frying food, without losing the taste. It requires little to no oil, thus it cuts calories (by 70+%) and reduces fat. I was skeptical to try at first, but after all the hype, I wanted to try it out, as it’s always good to spice up your meals. The air fryer we have is the Crux 2.6 Qt, and I love it!

One of my favorite things to cook in it has become tofu. Tofu can take a long freaking time to cook and sometimes, just doesn’t turn out all that well. The air fryer gives it a golden light crisp, and of course, takes on the flavor of whatever you put on it. Keep scrolling for the delicious and healthy air fryer tofu recipe.

This is a quick and easy tofu bowl recipe-perfect for dinners during the week! You can eat it with many different sides, mine is some seasoned, roasted veggies, and garlic-lime brown rice. Tofu is the number one thing I always make sure to buy organic to avoids GMOs.

Ingredients (4 servings)

• 1 block of organic firm tofu, pressed and cut into cubes
• 2 cups of cooked brown rice (according to the packaging- I love the short grain brown rice)

6. Cook veggies for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
