Directions:

• Preparing the tofu is the most important step in the recipe. Use extra firm tofu so that it does not fall apart. Also you need to dry it really well so that the fries come out crispy and not soggy.
• I take the tofu block and firmly press it to release water. Use your hands or a heavy dish on top to press the tofu. You can use a tofu press as well.
• Once done, I place it between paper towels to dry it thoroughly. Then cut the tofu block in the shape of fries. Keep aside.
• Prepare the marinade: Combine together soy sauce, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, pepper, extra virgin olive oil and Sriracha sauce in a bowl. Add tofu fries to the marinade and spread it all around.
• Let it marinate for 10 minutes. Toss the marinated fries in cornstarch and let it coat the fries.
• Preheat air fryer at 180C or 360F for 5 minutes or use the preheat function. Spray the basket with olive oil. Now lay the coated tofu fries in one single layer in the air fryer basket.
• Air fry for 8-11 minutes at 180C or 360F. This time will vary depending upon the thickness of your tofu fries. You can spray the tofu with some oil midway if it looks too dry.
• Once done, take out the crunchy tofu fries and serve hot with a dip of choice. Enjoy.
