Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz extra-firm tofu
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel. Place a heavy object, such as a cast-iron skillet, on top to press out the excess moisture for about 10-15 minutes.
Once pressed, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and sea salt. Stir until well mixed.
Add the tofu cubes to the bowl and gently toss until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Spread the tofu cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other for maximum crispiness.
Roast the tofu in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the cubes halfway through cooking, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the crispy roasted tofu on its own, or as a topping for salads, stir-fries, or grain bowls.
