Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 14 ounce block of extra-firm tofu drained and pressed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 tablespoons potato starch or corn starch
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1-2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1-2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Lightly oil the baking sheet with about 2 teaspoons of the oil. This helps for a crispier tofu.
  • Tear the tofu into bite-size pieces, then place into a bowl. Toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil until well-coated.
  • Whisk together the starch, flour, spices and salt. Add to the tofu and toss until well coated, making sure no starch is still visible.
  • Add in a single layer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through until crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
