1 package of extra-firm tofu or high protein tofu, drained

1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Splash of coconut aminos

Calabrian chili or sriracha to taste

1.5 teaspoons garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Heaping 1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt

Black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon arrowroot powder or cornstarch

METHOD

1. Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F or oven to 425 degrees F.

2. Wrap tofu block in paper towel and press down using your hands to release any excess moisture. Discard the paper towel and cut the tofu into cubes.

4. Arrange the tofu on a parchment-lined baking sheet and air-fry for 15-20 minutes (depending on the strength of your air-fryer) or bake in the oven for 25-35 minutes, or until golden brown. Enjoy!
