Drain and press the tofu for at least 10 minutes to remove excess moisture. If you do not have a tofu press, you can wrap the tofu in a clean dishcloth and set it on a cutting board with a heavy object on top.
Using your hands, tear the tofu into uneven chunks (this gives more surface area for crispy edges!).
In a large bowl, combine the oil, coconut aminos, vinegar, cajun seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, pepper and maple syrup. Mix well.
Toss the torn tofu pieces in the marinade, ensuring they’re well-coated.
Let sit for 10-15 minutes (or longer for deeper flavor).
Proceed with one of the following three methods:
<strong>Oven Method</strong>
Preheat the oven to 400℉.
Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time.
<strong>Air Fryer Method</strong>
Spread the tofu in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Air fry at 375℉ for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
<strong>Pan-Fry Method</strong>
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1-2 tablespoons of oil (I like to use avocado oil).
Cook for 7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until crispy on all sides.
