1 Ingredients
| Qty | Item |
|---|---|
| 14 oz | Extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed |
| 1 tbsp | Soy sauce or Tamari |
| 1 tbsp | Olive oil |
| 1 tbsp | Cornstarch |
| 0.5 tsp | Garlic powder |
| 0.5 tsp | Onion powder |
| 0.25 tsp | Smoked paprika |
2 Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the pressed tofu block into 1-inch cubes and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
Drizzle the soy sauce and olive oil over the tofu cubes and toss gently until every piece is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika over the tofu. Toss again until the cubes are coated in a thin, even layer of the starch and spice mixture.
Spread the tofu in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between each piece for air circulation.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the cubes halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
💡 Tips & Tricks
-
·
Press your tofu for at least 20 minutes using a tofu press or heavy books to remove excess water; this is the key to crispiness.
-
·
For an even crunchier exterior, let the tofu sit in the cornstarch mixture for 5 minutes before putting it in the oven.
-
·
Avoid using silken or soft tofu for this recipe, as it will fall apart and won't crisp up properly.
-
·
Add a tablespoon of nutritional yeast to the breading for a savory, 'cheesy' flavor profile.
