Here’s How to Make Crispy Air Fryer Tofu cooked in just 10 minutes! This tofu is delicious, easy to make and great for meal prep!
Here’s a fact of life, air fryer tofu is one of the easiest and delicious quick meals on this blog. Not only will it help you achieve your crispy tofu dreams, but also well seasoned and meal prepped tofu. Did I mention it takes 10 minutes of cooking time?!
What’s an air fryer?
We make everything from fries (that are crispy, delicious and take 20 minutes), to burgers, bagels, toast, crispy roasted breadfruit and even plantain. And today – tofu!
Notes on the Ingredients
extra firm tofu – ensure you’re buying the right tofu! If it says “silken” anywhere on it. that’s not the kind we want to use here. Watch my tofu 101 IG series if you want more details, or my Tofu 101 Blog post! Always press your tofu when using it in this way.
Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground black pepper and sea salt – these are a few simple seasonings that give your tofu incredible flavour. I’ll share some other seasonings ideas below.
cornstarch – our secret weapon for crispy tofu! Cornstarch helps to draw out excess liquid and gives the tofu a crispy exterior.
light soy sauce or liquid aminos – I prefer light soy sauce (or even liquid aminos) since it’s not as salty. You can also use coconut aminos .
sesame oil or any oil – even though you don’t technically need oil for an air fryer, I find a little bit goes a LONG way with aiding crispiness, texture and flavour.
How to make Air Fryer Tofu(Step by Step Instructions)
Making air fryer tofu is so easy and results in the crispest tofu in such a short time.
In a medium size bowl place the pressed and cubed tofu. Add in liquid aminos and toss to coat.
Add in all of the other seasoning ingredients and toss to thoroughly combine.
Place in your air fryer in a single row, so that all the tofu has a little bit of space around each piece.
Set your air fryer to 400°F. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket after 5 minutes, then continuing to cook.
Remove after tofu is cooked. Allow to cool for a few minutes then serve. Enjoy!
You can serve it alone or with a dip, or literally anything your heart desires.
- Make sure you’re not buying silken tofu! That will yield the wrong texture and will break apart if you try and press it. Check out my Tofu 101 post for more, or watch my tofu 101 IG series .
- If you have a smaller air fryer, you’re going to want to split this into two batches because you definitely don’t want your tofu to be crowded. Give them enough space. In my smaller air fryer, I need two batches.
- I’m sure all air fryers are different, so be sure to see if your tofu may need an extra 5 minutes. Mine was perfect after 10 minutes!
- How to press tofu: I cover this in detail in my How to Cook Tofu 101 post ! The prep time includes the time to press the tofu
- You can even switch up the seasoning mix . Here are some ideas as to how: Italian seasoning with dried parsley, oregano and dried basil Bbq seasoning Cajun seasoning The options are up to you!

How to Make Crispy Air Fryer Tofu https://jessicainthekitchen.com/how-to-make-crispy-air-fryer-tofu/ February 17, 2021
This homemade vegan feta cheese is the perfect plant-based feta substitute! With just 6 common ingredients, this tangy, briny tofu feta cheese recipe is easy to make and ready in minutes.
Get ready to put this vegan tofu feta cheese on everything! Years ago, I was skeptical about making “cheese” with tofu, but this is the recipe that changed the game. I was honestly shocked at how deliciously briny this vegan cheese is. The texture is just perfect, and after some serious trial and error, I got the level of flavour that matched the dairy-based feta I used to eat in Greek salads. It’s tangy, salty, and perfectly cheesy.
Why You’ll Love This Vegan Feta Cheese
- Quick and easy. This tofu feta cheese takes 6 common ingredients and a mere 6 minutes to make. It’s super speedy, and it saves a last-minute trip to the grocery store.
- Fresh and tangy. There will always be slight differences between dairy cheese and vegan cheese, but I have to say, this vegan feta is pretty darn close to the original! It’s so fresh, salty, and briny, with the creaminess you look for in classic feta.
- Versatile. Enjoy salty, tangy vegan feta on salads and sandwiches or in any of your favourite Greek and Mediterranean recipes.
Notes on the Ingredients
These are some notes on the ingredients you’ll need for this homemade tofu feta recipe. Scroll down to the recipe card after the post for the printable ingredients list with amounts and recipe details.
- Firm Tofu – Make sure you drain and press your tofu for at least 30 minutes. Getting your tofu adequately drained helps give your vegan cheese the texture of feta and not overly watery.
- Nutritional Yeast – If you are vegan, nutritional yeast should be in your cooking arsenal. It gives a savory, cheesy flavour to the tofu that helps boost the taste of feta.
- Salt and Pepper
- Lime or Lemon Juice – A squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice adds a hint of tanginess, like you’d find in traditional feta.
- Olive Oil – I prefer the flavour of olive oil, but you can use another mild-flavoured oil in its place.
How To Make Vegan Feta Cheese
First things first, cut your tofu into small cubes or crumble it (like crumbled feta) and place it in a bowl. Then, follow the steps below to make your vegan feta cheese easily from scratch. You’ll find the printable instructions in the recipe card.
- Combine the ingredients. In a Mason jar (or any largeish jar with a lid), mix the nutritional yeast, pepper, sea salt, lime juice, and olive oil. Shake until that’s well combined. Afterward, pour the mixture over the tofu and gently stir to coat.
- Soak. Add the tofu back to the mason jar and pour any excess brine still in the bowl over the top. Let the tofu marinate for at least an hour or preferably overnight. Season the finished result to taste, and if you want it more briny, just add a little more lime juice. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Press the tofu first. This is key to achieving that firm “feta” texture. To drain and press your tofu, use a tofu press . If you don’t have one, place the tofu on a towel or some paper towels on a flat surface, like a plate or cutting board. Place more towels or paper towels over the tofu, then place something heavy on top, like a cast-iron skillet. Leave it to drain for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- Adjust to taste. Feel free to add more brine if needed, but I recommend waiting at least an hour for the flavours to soak in first so you don’t end up overdoing it.
- Try it whipped. For another easy variation, try my homemade vegan whipped feta . It’s delicious as a dip or spread!
Serving Suggestions
I love serving this easy vegan feta cheese over a Greek salad , this Mediterranean chickpea salad , or any of my favourite summer salad recipes, like this fresh watermelon feta salad or a vegan pasta salad . Or, I’ll use it as a topping on a vegan pizza , and it’s also delicious crumbled over avocado toast for breakfast.
How to Store
I like to store my vegan feta cheese in an airtight container with the marinade so that it continues to soak up the flavour. You can keep it in the fridge for about 5 days.

Ingredients
- 1 lb block firm tofu , or extra firm tofu (not silken tofu), pressed for at least 30 minutes
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 3 tablespoons lime juice , or lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Either cut your tofu into small cubes or crumbled like crumbled feta and place in a bowl.
- In a mason jar (or any large ish jar with a top) mix the nutritional yeast, pepper, sea salt, lime juice and olive oil. Shake until combined. Pour over the tofu in the bowl and gently stir with a spoon to come to coat all of the tofu.
- Add the tofu back to the mason jar and pour any excess brine still in the bowl over the top.
- Let it marinade for at least an hour, preferably over night. Taste and you can add more lime juice if you want it more brine-y. Enjoy!
Notes
- To drain and press your tofu, use a tofu press , or if you don’t have one, place a towel or some paper towels on a flat surface, like a plate or cutting board. Place more towels or paper towels on top of the tofu, then place something somewhat heavy on top of them, like a cast-iron skillet.
- Feel free to add more brine if needed, but I would say wait at least the hour for the flavours to really soak in so you don’t end up overdoing it!
- I like to store my tofu feta cheese in an airtight container with the marinade so that it continues to soak up the flavour. You can keep it in the fridge for about 5 days.
