Last week I shared my easy recipe for making Crispy Air Fried Tofu! We make it at least once a week—it’s just so simple! But what do you serve it with? The options are really limitless! I love to toss it in a pan with different sauces and serve with rice! But it’s also great in a hummus wrap, or even on top of a bowl meal. The best part is that it’s done in just a few minutes, making it a huge win on a busy week!
Easy Weeknight Dinner
My favorite way to enjoy Air Fried Tofu is by tossing it in store bought sweet chili sauce. Talk about a perfect weeknight dinner. I simply fry my tofu in the air fryer, toss it in a skillet, and drizzle an entire bottle of sauce over top. Then I serve it with rice and a salad. It does not get any easier than this, and it’s a hit with my entire family! I actually snagged this “idea” from Whole Foods—our local store sells this on the hot bar, but it’s not nearly as good as the homemade version. I just HAD to make it myself! You can also try teriyaki sauce—store bought or homemade, or bbq sauce! I even tossed this air fried tofu with my Vegan Red Wine Gravy for Christmas dinner—so good!
