Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
- Press and drain the tofu (this step makes all the difference in crispiness).14 ounces firm tofu
- In a small bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, olive oil, soy sauce, salsa, and all the seasonings until smooth.1 tablespoon tomato paste, 2 tablespoon olive oil, 2 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon salsa, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon oregano, salt + black pepper to taste, ½ teaspoon chipotle powder/cayenne
- Crumble the tofu into small chunks directly onto the baking sheet. Pour the seasoning mixture over and toss well to coat.
- Bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to make sure it browns evenly. Check at the 20-minute mark—you're looking for golden, slightly dry crumbles.
- Once done, let it cool a few minutes; it’ll crisp up even more as it sits.
- Assemble your tacos with your favorite toppings—mine are chopped white onion, radish slices, cilantro, and a drizzle of mild salsa or my garlic-lime yogurt dressing.
