Crispy Air Fryer Tofu with Miso Sesame Sauce

October 1, 2025 Lisa Mindel

Tofu is a plant-based protein powerhouse—rich in calcium, iron, and amino acids. Air frying gives it a golden, slightly crunchy texture without heavy oils or coating. Paired with a savory-sweet miso sesame sauce, this dish is light, nourishing, and full of flavor. A quick, easy and healthy addition to your menu.

Ingredients:

14 oz firm or extra-firm tofu (pressed 15–20 minutes)
1 tablespoon tamari or low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil
1 teaspoon rice vinegar or lemon juice
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika (or chili powder for spice)
Pinch of sea salt and black pepper

For the Miso Sesame Sauce

2 tablespoons white miso paste
1 tablespoon tahini (or toasted sesame oil for lighter version)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lemon juice
1 tablespoon tamari or low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
2–3 tablespoons warm water (to thin as needed)
Optional: pinch of grated ginger or garlic

Instructions:

Cut pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes.
In a bowl, whisk tamari, oil, and vinegar. Add tofu and toss gently.


Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss again until coated.


Place tofu in a single layer in the air fryer basket.


Air fry at 375°F for 12–15 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and slightly crisp.


Meanwhile, whisk miso, tahini, vinegar, tamari, and maple syrup in a small bowl. Add warm water gradually until smooth and drizzleable. Adjust to taste.


Serve tofu hot with a generous drizzle of miso sesame sauce.

Pro Tip

This tofu is delicious on its own, but also perfect over brown rice, quinoa, or a big green salad. Make extra sauce—it doubles as a quick dressing or veggie dip!
