Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1 block (12 to 15 ounces) organic extra-firm tofu
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon tamari* or soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot starch

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the tofu from sticking.
To prepare the tofu: Drain the tofu and use your palms to gently squeeze out some of the water. Slice the tofu into thirds lengthwise so you have 3 even slabs. Stack the slabs on top of each other and slice through them lengthwise to make 3 even columns, then slice across to make 5 even rows (see photos).
Line a cutting board with a lint-free tea towel or paper towels, then arrange the tofu in an even layer on the towel(s). Fold the towel(s) over the cubed tofu, then place something heavy on top (like another cutting board, topped with a cast iron pan or large cans of tomatoes) to help the tofu drain. Let the tofu rest for at least 10 minutes (preferably more like 30 minutes, if you have the time).
Transfer the pressed tofu to a medium mixing bowl and drizzle with the olive oil and tamari. Toss to combine. Sprinkle the starch over the tofu, and toss the tofu until the starch is evenly coated, so there are no powdery spots remaining.
Tip the bowl of tofu over onto your prepared baking sheet and arrange the tofu in an even layer. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing the tofu halfway, until the tofu is deeply golden on the edges. Use as desired.

Before preparing crispy baked tofu, you first need to press your block of tofu. This allows you to drain the excess liquid, which helps your tofu to absorb more of the marinade's flavors. You can use a tofu press for the best results, or cover your tofu block in paper towels and press firmly down using a heavy object (a chopping board works well).
Once thoroughly pressed, you need to cut your block of tofu into 3 evenly sized pieces. Repeat the draining process again with each piece to ensure that the tofu has been drained of as much liquid as possible. Again, use a tofu press for the best results, or use a heavy object to put pressure on the tofu. You’ll need to let the tofu drain for at least 15 minutes.
While the tofu is being pressed, you can preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cover a large baking tray in parchment paper and leave it on the side.
Once you are happy with how your tofu has drained, it’s time to slice your blocks into even smaller pieces. Use a sharp knife and try to make small, evenly-sized cubes. The shape isn’t too important, so you can prepare thin or thick slices, or even triangles and circles if you prefer!
