A delicious, high-protein plant-based snack or meal addition. This tofu is pressed until firm and baked to crispy perfection using a light coating of liquid aminos and cornstarch.

Ingredients

Scale

1 block (14 oz.) extra-firm tofu
1 tbsp liquid aminos
1.5 tsp avocado oil or sesame oil
0.5 tsp sea salt (adjust to taste)
0.5 tsp garlic powder
1 pinch ground black pepper
0.5 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Drain the tofu and slice into thick slabs.
  3. Wrap slabs in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy skillet on top for 15 to 20 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  4. Cut the pressed tofu into even cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
  5. Add liquid aminos, oil, salt, garlic powder, and pepper; toss to coat evenly.
  6. Sprinkle cornstarch over the tofu and gently toss until no white powder remains visible.
  7. Spread cubes onto the baking sheet in a single layer with space between each piece.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes, flip the cubes, and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until golden and crispy.
  9. Serve hot as a snack or as part of a main dish.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, leave the tofu in the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
