INGREDIENTS
  

  • 1 block extra firm tofu, 14 oz
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Press the tofu: Drain the tofu and slice it into 2 or 3 thick slabs (about ¾ to 1 inch each). Lay them on a clean towel or paper towels. Cover with another towel and place a cutting board on top. Add a few heavy cans or pots on top and let it press for 15–30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F.

  • Cut the tofu: Remove the weights and towels. Cut the tofu into small cubes (about ¾ inch) or whatever shape you like—triangles or rectangles are great too.
  • Season the tofu: Add the tofu to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle in the cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Gently toss until the tofu is evenly coated.

  • Arrange on a baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the tofu cubes out in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch.
  • Bake until crispy: Bake for 20 minutes. For extra crispiness, turn on the broiler for 2 minutes. Or flip the tofu and bake for another 10–15 minutes until they’re as crispy as you like.
  • Serve and enjoy: Serve warm, straight from the pan, or add to bowls, salads, wraps, or noodles.
