Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces extra-firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels to remove excess water. You can use a tofu press or place a heavy object on top for at least 15 minutes.
Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Add the tofu cubes to the bowl and gently toss them in the marinade until all pieces are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the tofu and carefully mix until the cornstarch is evenly distributed. This will help the tofu achieve a crispy texture.
Arrange the tofu cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip the tofu cubes and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the tofu is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the tofu from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy as a snack, salad topping, or as a protein in your favorite dishes.
