Instructions

Prepare Tofu

  1. Press the tofu using a heavy object or a tofu press if it's not already pressed. You could also freeze the tofu the night before. Make sure it's cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients and toss to coat the tofu.
  3. Spread the tofu in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure to evenly space them and avoid overcrowding.

Oven-Baked Tofu

  1. Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tofu is golden brown and crispy.

Air Fryer Tofu

  1. Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃). Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tofu is golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • For extra crispy tofu, press the tofu for at least 30 minutes before baking or air frying. Freezing overnight is a great way to get the right texture. 
  • If you don't have gochujang, you can substitute another type of chili paste, such as sriracha or sambal oelek.
  • You can also add other vegetables to the tofu, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or bell peppers.
  • Serve the tofu with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or roasted vegetables.
