Ingredients
- 1 block (12-16 ounces) extra-firm tofu
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil grapeseed, olive oil, or vegetable oil will work
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or liquid aminos
- 1 teaspoon seasoning of choice see list
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Drain the tofu. Press for 30 minutes as directed in the tips above.
- Cut the tofu in half. Cut each half in half again so that you are left with four long pieces of tofu. Cut the slabs into 3/4 to 1 inch pieces or any shape you desire. For crispier tofu, cut it into smaller pieces.
- Place the tofu in a large mixing bowl and toss with the oil and soy sauce or liquid aminos until evenly coated.
- Add the cornstarch and any desired seasonings. Toss carefully until evenly coated.
- Place the tofu cubes on the baking sheet so that they are spread evenly and are not overlapping or touching.
- Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and flip each piece. Bake for 15 minutes, or until your tofu reaches your desired crispiness!
- Serve with your favorite sauce or add to other dishes.
