Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- ½ tsp liquid smoke
- 1 tsp pasta sauce

Instructions
- Cut the ⅛ of the tofu block into thin-medium slices, such as in the photos.
- Mix together all the ingredients, aside from the tofu, in a small, shallow dish.
- Layer the tofu evenly in the dish, making sure the mixture covers the tofu fully.
- Allow the marinade to sit for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- After at least two hours, place the tofu slices in a single layer in an air fryer. You can use a baking sheet or parchment paper in an air fryer for easy removal later.
