Step 2 Preheat air fryer to 400 F for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, take tofu and cut into 1-inch cubes.

Storing and Reheating You can store any leftover air fryer tofu in the fridge for 4 to 5 days in an airtight glass container without the sauce. When you’re ready to enjoy your tofu, reheat it in a pan on the stovetop or pop it back in the air fryer to get it nice and crispy again. Toss it in the sauce, then serve and enjoy!
