Let’s go…
Instructions
Time needed: 40 minutes
Baked Tofu is a good way to make a large quantity of chewy bites of tofu that can get tossed with sauce and added to noodle bowls or a stir fry. This method is also helpful because it frees up stove top space while preparing other elements of your recipe.
- Step 1
Press extra firm tofu for at least 30 minutes. Cut tofu into cubes or slabs and place in a glass dish.
- Step 2
Add a sauce or marinade over the tofu. A variety of oil or soy sauce based marinades work well.
- Step 3
Cover and allow tofu to marinate for about 30 minutes.
- Step 4
Transfer tofu to parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 400°F for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through. You can reserve the marinade to be brushed onto tofu during the baking process for extra flavor.
- Step 5
Baked Tofu can be served as a main dish or added to noodle bowls, rice bowls, or salads.
