How To Make crispy baked tofu
-
Step 1Cut the tofu in half lengthwise. Wrap it in a clean towel. Weigh it down with a heavy skillet to squeeze out the moisture. Let it sit weighted down for about 30 minutes.
-
Step 2Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Step 3Whisk the sesame oil and soy sauce together. Gently toss the tofu in the oil.
-
Step 4Combine the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and ground cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle it over the tofu and toss gently to coat. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
-
Step 5Sprinkle with the corn starch and toss to coat. Bake on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
-
Step 6Bake for 25 minutes or until crispy, flipping halfway through.
