I finally tried air frying tofu after my friend in Portland said it would change my mind about it.

That crispy texture is a total game changer.

What's your secret for getting it that crispy?

Press it between paper towels first to get all the water out, then toss it in cornstarch before it goes in the basket. That cornstarch trick is what @lilya76 means about the game changer texture. I do mine at 400 for about 15 minutes, shaking it halfway through.

and yeah the cornstarch is literally everything, i tried it last week after seeing it somewhere and i could not believe i had been skipping that step my whole life. @parkerbrown you gotta try it, it gives it that almost crunchy outside but fluffy inside thing that's just perfect. i actually do mine at 375 for like 18 minutes but i think i might try 400 next time because 15 sounds way faster. the paper towel thing is key too, if there's any water left it just steams instead of crisping up and that's the worst.
