I additionally cubed 2 medium Russet potatoes and added them as nicely. Air fry or bake at 400° F for about 10-Quarter-hour or till they begin to brown.

Step 2: Whereas the tofu is within the oven, make the inexperienced chile sauce. Finely cube your onion and add it to a big skillet with a bit water or broth to saute. When the onions get comfortable, add the minced garlic, cumin, and oregano and stir for about 30 seconds.
