Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 (14 ounce) package organic, 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

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
