This Crispy Air Fryer Tempeh is sure to become a go-to in your kitchen! The air fryer creates an irresistibly crispy texture for the tempeh that is perfect to add to salads, grain bowls, stir-fries, and more. It's easy to make and ready in under 15 minutes.
Remove tempeh from package and chop into small triangles or cubes.
Add the tempeh to a shallow bowl and carefully toss in the low-sodium tamari until coated. Allow the tempeh to soak in the tamari for about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the cornstarch, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and a pinch of salt over the tempeh. Carefully toss until coated.
Add the tempeh to the air fryer in an even layer. Lightly spray with avocado oil.
Air fry at 375F for 7-9 minutes until golden brown. Shake the basket occasionally and check often as it cooks fast.
Notes
Air fryers can vary. When attempting a new air fryer recipe, I recommend monitoring it closely. Check on the tempeh at the halfway point and during the final 2 to 3 minutes of cooking.
