Finally got crispy tofu in my air fryer after 6 tries

I popped into a little pho spot in Denver last week and noticed they had a dedicated air fryer station for their tofu, which made me realize I was overcrowding my basket this whole time, has anyone else had that lightbulb moment where one small tweak changes everything?

Dropping the tofu in cornstarch first was my game changer.

Wait is that really all it takes? I've been pressing extra firm and patting it dry for like ten minutes and it still sticks. Cornstarch before the pan makes sense though since it creates that barrier. I'm gonna try this with my air fryer tonight. Tofu nuggets here we come.
