Air-Fried Vegan Teriyaki Tofu Skewers - Indulge in the savory and sticky goodness of Air-Fried Teriyaki Tofu Skewers—a vegan delight that captures the essence of Japanese flavors. Cubes of firm tofu marinate in a luscious teriyaki sauce before being threaded onto skewers and air-fried to perfection.
Ingredients:
For the Tofu:
- 1 block extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
For the Skewers:
- Bamboo or metal skewers, soaked if using bamboo
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Tofu:
- Press the tofu to remove excess water by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, placing a heavy object (like a cast-iron skillet) on top, and letting it sit for about 15-20 minutes. Cut the pressed tofu into cubes.
- Marinate the Tofu:
- In a bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, maple syrup or agave nectar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Place the tofu cubes in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or longer if possible.
- Skewer the Tofu:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Thread the marinated tofu cubes onto skewers.
- Air Fry:
- Lightly grease the EaZy MealZ Crisping Basket & Deep Bake Pan. Place the tofu skewers in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, turning the skewers halfway through, until the tofu is golden and crispy on the outside.
- Baste with Extra Marinade (Optional):
- If desired, you can baste the tofu skewers with some extra teriyaki marinade during the last few minutes of cooking for extra flavor.
- Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the tofu skewers from the EaZy MealZ Crisping Basket & Deep Bake Pan. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for garnish.
- Optional:
- Serve the crispy teriyaki tofu skewers over a bed of rice or alongside steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
To get it super crispy, use our EaZy MealZ Crisping Basket & Deep Bake Pan.
