Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 block (approximately 14 oz) Firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Drain the tofu block and press it using either a tofu press or by placing it between two plates weighed down with a heavy object for about 10 minutes. This removes excess moisture and helps the tofu crisp up in the oven.
After pressing, slice the tofu into thin, uniform slices about 1/8-inch thick. Consistency is key to ensuring even baking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
Gently brush or toss the tofu slices with the marinade, ensuring each slice is evenly coated.
Arrange the marinated tofu slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving a little space between each slice.
Bake the tofu slices in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, flip each slice over and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Serve the tofu chips immediately as a snack or side dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
