Equipment
Ingredients
- 14 ounce package firm or extra-firm tofu
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce, or tamari for gluten-free version
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch or cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons seasoning of choice, optional, to fit in with the recipe you are using this for. Keep it plain to add to stir-fries or try chili powder to add to grain bowls and salads
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- For crispy tofu, it needs to be pressed first. Wrap the tofu in a kitchen towel or paper towels and place a heavy object on top, like a pan or cans. Let drain for at least 15 minutes.
- Unwrap the tofu and cube, then place in a large bowl. Toss with olive oil, soy sauce, arrowroot starch and seasoning, if using, until the tofu is evenly coated.
- Place on the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
