• Remove the tofu from the packaging, then press it. Use a commercial tofu press. Alternatively, wrap the block in paper towels and place it between two flat surfaces. Weigh the top down to press the moisture from the tofu (about 15 minutes).
• Add the green onions, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, garlic, ginger, and 1 teaspoon of jerk seasoning to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
• Taste the marinade and add additional jerk seasoning or cayenne pepper if desired.
• Cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces or cubes. Place them in a shallow bowl or rimmed plate.
• Cover the tofu with the marinade. Gently toss the tofu pieces a few times to coat them. Cover the dish and marinate the tofu for at least an hour.
• Shake off excess marinade from each tofu piece and place them in a clean dish. Mix with cornstarch until each piece is well-covered.
• See instructions below to bake or air fry.

How to air fry jerk tofu

• Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees (190 C).
• When it's preheated, place the tofu in a single layer in the air fryer basket (or rack).
• Fry the tofu for 6 minutes, then flip and brush with tofu with marinade.
• Air fry for another 4 minutes. Toss it, brush on more marinade, and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

How to bake jerk tofu
