Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these Baked Tofu Cubes are a versatile plant-based protein perfect for adding to salads, bowls, wraps, or enjoying as a healthy snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 block extra-firm or firm tofu
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or other neutral oil)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or arrowroot or potato starch)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean towel. Press with a weight for 10–15 minutes to remove moisture.
  3. Pat the tofu dry and cut into 2 cm (¾ inch) cubes.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  5. Add the tofu cubes and toss to coat evenly.
  6. Sprinkle cornstarch over the tofu and toss again until evenly coated.
  7. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the tofu in a single layer.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes, flip the cubes, then bake another 10–15 minutes until golden and crisp.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Pressing tofu is key for crispiness—remove as much water as possible.
  • Adjust baking time based on cube size and oven strength.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the tofu before coating and baking.
