Instructions
 

  • First, you have to press your tofu to get the water out. I typically do this by wrapping it in paper towels and putting something heavy on it like a pot or a pan. There are several tofu presses that you can buy - this one looks good - https://amzn.to/3K1RRpb. I would do this 30 minutes or so before you want to make your tofu.
    Then I take out a bowl or a glass pyrex 8x8 pan to marinate my tofu. I think the pyrex actually works better because it's flat bottomed. Cut up your tofu in the pan and then pour the BBQ sauce over it. You can add some spices, but I didn't, I love the taste of G Hughes' BBQ Sauce.
    I used the original flavor, but I also buy the Maple Brown and the Honey flavored BBQ Sauces. I marinate the tofu for 15-20 minutes or so. You really want to make sure the BBQ coats the tofu (otherwise it won't get the flavor of the BBQ sauce).Then get your air fryer ready.
    I always use a silicone mat, spray that lightly with your avocado oil spray.
    Place the marinated tofu on the silicone mat, giving some space between the pieces of the tofu. Air fry at 400 degrees for 15 minutes (remember that some air fryer's pre-heat, so build that time in). Serve!
