Crispy Tofu:
1. Cut tofu into 1/2” cubes and place it in a bowl with the soy sauce, spices (garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried tarragon) and nutritional yeast.
2. Toss gently, and halfway through tossing, add the olive oil, and toss all the way through.
3. Taste for seasoning, adjust as needed. Then add the cornstarch and toss until the tofu is coated. It should reach a slightly dry but still moist consistency.
4. Add the tofu to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 25-30 minutes on 400F, shaking the basket every 5-7 minutes to ensure the tofu crisps evenly. Alternatively, you can bake in the oven at 425F for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through for a very similar and crispy result.
5. Serve as a high protein snack, in bowls, in salads, whatever you want.
Dipping sauce:
Just stir all ingredients (kewpie mayo, dijon mustard, grainy dijon mustard, pickle juice, maple syrup) together.
