Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Open the tofu package and drain the liquid. Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and place it on a plate. Set another plate or a heavy object on top to press the tofu. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
After pressing, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes. Transfer the cubes to a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the tofu cubes and gently toss to coat them evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Sprinkle this mixture over the tofu and toss until each piece is thoroughly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the coated tofu cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching each other to ensure even crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping the tofu halfway through the cooking time. The tofu should be golden brown and crisp on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the tofu cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy roasted tofu as a protein-packed addition to any meal.
