Ingredients
-
1 (14-ounce) package firm or extra-firm tofu, drained and patted dry
-
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
-
1 tablespoon honey
-
1 tablespoon lower-sodium tamari
-
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
-
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
-
2 teaspoons Sriracha
-
½ teaspoon five-spice powder
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
-
Wrap tofu in paper towels and place on a plate. Press the tofu by placing a heavy cast-iron skillet on top for 30 minutes (or refrigerate overnight).
-
Whisk nutritional yeast, honey, tamari, oil, vinegar, Sriracha, five-spice powder and garlic powder together in a medium bowl. Cut the tofu into 3/4-inch cubes and add to the nutritional yeast mixture; turn to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes (or refrigerate overnight).
-
Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes. Coat the fryer basket with cooking spray.
-
Working in batches if necessary, arrange the tofu cubes in a single layer in the fryer basket. Cook, flipping once, until crispy and golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with salt before serving.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
