Prepare the tofu
Press tofu with paper towels or a tofu press for at least 10 minutes to remove excess water.
Cut into cubes, toss lightly with oil, garlic powder, paprika, and a splash of soy sauce/coconut aminos.
Air fry at 375°F for 12–15 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and crispy.
Cook the veggies
If using leafy greens (spinach, kale): sauté quickly in a pan with a squeeze of lemon.
For hearty veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, asparagus, peppers): roast or air fry at 375°F for 10–15 minutes until tender but crisp.
Assemble the plate
Place crispy tofu pieces in the center.
Add 2 portions of vegetables on the side.
Garnish with fresh lemon/lime juice and herbs.
Optional flavor boost
Drizzle 1 tsp low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos over tofu for a tasty finish.
