Air-fried Tofu and Spritzed Veggies

Perfect for:

Meal prep, healthy dinners, or as a killer vegan main dish with big flavor and color.

Ingredients:

For the Tofu:

  • 1 block (14–16 oz) extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (for crispiness)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil (or neutral oil)

Tofu Marinade (sweet & savory):

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (vegans stick to maple!)
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Pinch of chili flakes (optional for heat)

Veggies (choose your color combo!)

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced
  • ½ red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 small carrot, julienned or sliced thin
  • Tossed lightly in olive oil, salt & pepper

Spritz King: Original Flavor

Instructions:

Marinate the Tofu

  • Press tofu to remove excess water (20 minutes).
  • Cut into cubes, toss gently in marinade, and let sit for at least 20 minutes.
  • Drain excess marinade, then toss tofu cubes in cornstarch for that crispy shell.

Preheat Air Fryer

  • Set to 390°F.

Cook the Tofu

  • Arrange tofu cubes in a single layer in the basket (don’t crowd).
  • Air fry for 10–12 minutes, shaking halfway through.
  • Spritz with your Original Spritz King spritz at the beginning, halfway mark and again at the end.

Air Fry the Veggies

  • Toss veggies in oil, salt & pepper. Air fry at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, shaking once.
  • Spritz once during cooking for flavor infusion!

Serve It Up

  • Plate the tofu and veggies over jasmine rice, quinoa, or noodles.
  • Drizzle any extra tahini-lime sauce if you’re feelin’ fancy.
  • Top with sesame seeds, chopped scallions, or crushed peanuts.

Pro Tips:

  • Craving crunch? Add air-fried cashews or crispy shallots on top.
  • Want extra glaze? Reduce your spritz mix in a pan and drizzle like a finishing sauce.
