Quick Answer
Press and cube tofu, chop vegetables into similar-sized pieces, and air fry everything together at 375°F for 18–20 minutes, shaking once. Dense vegetables like broccoli and bell peppers work best — they finish at roughly the same time as well-pressed tofu.
This guide links back to the canonical timing row for Tofu, so the advice stays aligned with the chart data.

Dense, moisture-tolerant vegetables work best alongside tofu: broccoli, bell peppers, snap peas, zucchini, and mushrooms all hold up well. Avoid very delicate greens or thin sliced vegetables that will overcook before the tofu finishes. Cut everything into roughly 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
A marinade of soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger works beautifully for all components. Marinate pressed, cubed tofu and vegetables for at least 15 minutes, or up to an hour. The marinade not only adds flavor but helps both brown more evenly in the air fryer.
Preheat to 375°F and spread tofu and vegetables in a single layer — use a rack insert if needed for more surface area. Cook for 18–20 minutes, shaking the basket at the halfway mark. Tofu should be golden and firm; vegetables should be tender with lightly charred edges.
Serve over steamed rice or noodles with extra sauce drizzled on top. This dish works well with peanut sauce, teriyaki glaze, or a simple sriracha-lime dressing. It is fully plant-based, high in protein, and customizable based on whatever vegetables you have available.
