Equipment
- oven, baking sheet
Ingredients
- 16 oz extra firm tofu or high protein super firm tofu
- 1 tbsp olive oil or coconut aminos, optional
- 2-3 tsp seasonings of choice: nutritional yeast, everything bagel seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, dried herbs, salt and pepper
- 1 tsp cornstarch, arrowroot powder, or tapioca flour, optional
Method
- If you're using extra firm tofu, start by following the simple steps for pressing tofu outlined above.
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line a large metal baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once you've pressed your extra firm tofu, or selected your high protein super firm tofu, slice into 1" cubes and transfer to a bowl.
- Here you can add any seasonings that you like. You can add the spices right to the tofu without any oil, but tossing in oil prior to seasoning will result in a slightly crispier result. You can also toss with 1 tbsp of coconut aminos or soy sauce before seasoning for extra flavor. Some people enjoy the texture of tossing the tofu in cornstarch, arrowroot powder, or tapioca flour, but I honestly prefer the results without! My recommendation is to try it both ways, and see what you prefer.
- Spread the tofu on the prepared baking sheet, making sure each piece of tofu is at least 1" apart.
- Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until desired crispiness is reached.
- You can use your baked tofu in a variety of ways, including on nourish bowls, in salads, in tacos, or as a tasty appetizer!
