Place the tofu in a medium bowl with the oil and toss until it’s thoroughly coated. Add in the soy sauce and freshly ground pepper and mix together. Let it marinate for 30 minutes (or longer) in the refrigerator.

Spread a single layer of tofu in your air fryer. For the tofu to be evenly air fried, it’s best that the cubes don’t touch.

Set the temperature to 375 and cook for 12 to 15 minutes. At 8 minutes, shake up the tofu for an even cook, then put it back in the air fryer.
