Air Fried Tofu with Sweet Sriracha Sauce
This easy air fryer tofu with a sweet sriracha sauce is our favorite quick tofu recipe! It’s perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner or meal prep lunch. Tofu is diced and air fried (with no oil needed!) and then tossed in a sweet and spicy sriracha sauce. Serve this sweet sriracha tofu recipe over rice and roasted veggies or in a vegetable stir fry!
Ingredients
- 1 16-oz block extra firm tofu, drained and pressed
For the sauce:
- 1/4 cup sriracha
- 2 Tbsp agave nectar*
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce**
- 1 large garlic clove minced
- 1 tsp ginger minced
Instructions
- PREP THE TOFU: First, drain and press your block of tofu. Then, preheat your air fryer to 400F and cut your tofu into 1/2 inch cubes.
- AIR FRY THE TOFU: Add the cubed tofu to your air fryer basket and cook for 10-20 minutes or until it reaches your desired level of crispiness, stopping to shake the basket every 5 minutes (important). When you stop at these 5-minute intervals, you may notice some pieces are stuck to the bottom. Use a rubber spatula to gently pull these pieces away from the air fryer basket before you continue cooking.
- MAKE THE SAUCE: Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and mix with a fork until combined.
- FINISH + SERVE: Toss the air fried tofu in your sauce and serve it over rice with steamed broccoli or your favorite veg. Enjoy!

Notes
- *Feel free to sub pure maple syrup for agave nectar.
- **For gluten-free, use a gluten-free soy sauce or tamari.
- We have (and really love) a Cook's Essentials air fryer. If you don't have an air fryer, feel free to bake or saute the tofu to crispy perfection!
- This is also a great meal prep recipe. Make it on Sunday and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
