Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 14oz block of extra firm tofu
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- sliced scallion, for serving
- sesame seeds, for serving
- creamy peanut dipping sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Drizzle the olive oil evenly all over the parchment paper.
- Slice the tofu in half, length wise, and then place on a layer of paper towels. Place another layer of paper towels on top. Place a heavy skillet or pan on top of the tofu and press for 15-20 minutes to release extra moisture.
- Once the tofu has been pressed, cut it into cubes and then transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Season the tofu with sesame oil and coconut aminos and toss. Then, sprinkle on the cornstarch and toss until well coated.
- Transfer the tofu cubes to the parchment lined sheet pan in an even layer. Bake the tofu for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Give the tofu a toss every 7-10 minutes to ensure that it gets golden and crispy on all sides.
- Serve the tofu, garnished with scallion and green onion, and with the dipping sauce and enjoy!
