My friend in Denver made these crispy tofu cubes that changed my whole game

I was over at his place for a game night and he just tossed some extra firm tofu in cornstarch and a bit of soy sauce, then air fried it at 400 for 15 minutes. They came out perfect, way better than my usual soggy baked version. What's your go-to simple air fryer trick for making veggies or tofu actually good?

My own tofu usually looks like sad little sponges, so I'm taking notes.

Actually, pressing it between plates can make it too flat and dense sometimes. What works better for me is wrapping the block in a clean kitchen towel and putting something heavy but not crushing on top, like a cast iron pan. That way it still has room to drain without getting totally squished. I leave it for about 30 minutes, not a full hour. My tofu comes out firm but not rubbery.

Press it between two plates for an hour first.
