Ingredients

• 1 block firm tofu, drained and pressed
• 1/3 cup orange juice
• 2 Tbsp soy sauce
• 2 Tbsp maple syrup
• 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 2 Tbsp cornstarch
• 3 Tbsp water

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cut the tofu into cubes and lay them in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
3. Air fry the tofu for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until it becomes crispy and golden brown.
4. In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
