Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Pat tofu dry with a clean towel, then break it into bite-sized chunks. In a large bowl, stir together cornstarch, lemon pepper seasoning, and salt. Add tofu and toss to evenly coat.
- Bake: Arrange tofu pieces on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until golden brown and crispy.After testing both ways, I actually prefer baking the tofu directly on a greased baking sheet instead of parchment paper-lined. It gets crispier!
- Serve: Serve warm with rice and/or a veggie, like broccoli or asparagus!
Notes
- To air fry, preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Add tofu to your air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to promote even cooking.

- To saute, cook in a nonstick or lightly greased skillet over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until tofu is browned and crispy on all sides.
- Can I use a different seasoning?Yes, you can use another all purpose seasoning like Everything Bagel or Steak Seasoning. You cannot use a single spice like garlic powder though - a spice blend is really best.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container. To reheat, pop them in the microwave, oven, or on a skillet on the stovetop to heat through.
