- 1 tablespoon oil
Tofu Dip
- ½ cup white vinegar
- ¼ cup red onion chopped
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon soy sauce optional

Instructions

- Take a block, cut in half then cut each half evenly. Repeat the process on the opposite side to have 16 slices tofu. Continue cutting the other blocks. Brush lightly with oil.
- Brush air fryer basket with oil and place cut tofu.
- Set air fryer at 375 degrees F, do not preheat and cook between 15-18 minutes. Turn the tofu halfway through cooking. Note: This is the suggested cooking time stated in the air fryer manual. Check if this is good enough for you. If you like it crispier, you can add 1-2 minutes more.

Notes
- Air fryer brands or models will have a slight difference in cooking time. It is best to check your manual.
- When setting cooking time, start with the lowest cooking time of 15 minutes then increase time if needed.
- For vinegar dip, you can substitute onion with 5 minced garlic. Store leftover tofu in the fridge.
- Reheat in air fryer at 300 degrees F between 2 to 3 minutes depending on the amount or warm in the microwave for a 30 seconds to a minute.
