Ingredients
- 1 block firm or extra-firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons garlic-infused oil
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 scallion chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess water using a kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes. In a bowl, combine garlic-infused oil, gluten-free soy sauce, maple syrup, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the tofu cubes in the marinade until well-coated.
- Sprinkle cornstarch over the tofu cubes and gently toss to coat evenly.
- Place the tofu cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the tofu halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Allow the crispy tofu to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with a side of dipping sauce or add to salads, stir-fries, or rice bowls.
