How to Make Baked Tofu

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Press the tofu to remove excess water. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy texture.
  3. Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
  5. Add the tofu cubes to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.
  6. Spread the tofu cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve immediately over your favorite salad, rice noodles, or as a side dish. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for extra flavor and visual appeal.
