Air-fried tofu is a modern take on a classic protein staple, originating from East Asian cuisine. Made primarily from soybeans, tofu is pressed into firm blocks that are sliced or cubed before being air-fried to create a crispy exterior and tender interior. The air-frying process uses minimal oil compared to traditional frying, significantly reducing calories and fat while preserving the natural protein content. Tofu is a rich source of complete plant-based protein, offering all essential amino acids, and provides important nutrients like iron and calcium. It is also low in saturated fat and cholesterol-free, making it heart-healthy. However, some commercially pre-seasoned varieties may contain added sodium, so checking labels is recommended. Air-fried tofu is versatile, pairing well with stir-fries, salads, and grain bowls, and is an excellent option for vegetarians, vegans, and anyone seeking a nutritious, protein-packed alternative.
