Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Start by draining the 14 oz block of firm tofu. Wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top, such as a skillet, to press out the excess moisture for about 10 minutes.
Step 2
While the tofu is being pressed, in a small bowl, mix together 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 0.5 tsp sea salt, and 0.25 tsp ground black pepper.
Step 3
After the tofu has been pressed, cut it into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Step 4
Place the tofu cubes in a large mixing bowl and pour over the turquoise garlic spice mixture. Gently toss until all the tofu pieces are evenly coated.
Step 5
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Step 6
Place the tofu cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd it. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 7
Air fry the tofu for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked tofu to a serving platter. Garnish with 1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy your Whole30 Air Fried Turmeric Garlic Tofu as a main dish or a tasty addition to salads or bowls.
