Our favorite foods are spicy with a lot of flavor. Air frying vegetables and meats is always a fun experience for us, so we decided to try air frying tofu. Since we seldom eat tofu, we were curious to know if it would be possible to air fry it. And guess what? The answer is YES! The tofu gets a nice little crunch on the outside while keeping the center creamy and flavorful. We made a Thai Red Curry sauce and tossed the tofu and potatoes in it, which hit the spot. The flavors blended perfectly, creating a unique taste profile that made our taste buds dance. Of course, we added spice with some Thai peppers, which made our taste buds REALLY dance!!!
Thai Red Curry Tofu and Potatoes
This dish can be easily prepared with chicken if you are not a fan of tofu. However, I must say that this tofu dinner recipe is one of the best I have ever tasted. It was filling, satisfying, and can be made spicier to suit your taste!
It is perfect for a meatless Monday meal. The recipe is quick to prepare and unbelievably delicious. I am not the biggest lover of Tofu and this recipe has opened a whole new world for using Tofu.
Curry is an excellent seasoning for chicken and vegetables, enhancing the taste while keeping calories low.. Spicy Curry Chicken and Broccoli, Chicken and Lentil Curry, and Spicy Shrimp Curry.
TIPS:
- To get a crispy texture on air fryer foods, use Olive Oil or Butter Spray. Just before placing the food in the air fryer, lightly spray it with olive oil or butter spray.
- It's always a good idea to measure everything to help with weight loss. This ensures you're not using too many oils or other high-calorie items.
- If you don't like spicy food, cut the peppers or pepper spice.
