Baked tofu is an easy way to either start experimenting with this often misunderstood food or as a prep ahead for seasoned tofu pros. Tofu absorbs the flavor of whatever it is mixed with so use baked tofu to toss with other seasonings, salad dressings, or sauces for a special treat. My mom, Vegan Nana, used to prepare multiple blocks of Baked Tofu and then freeze individual servings for quick reheating!

Total
Yield 4 servings
Ingredients
- 12oz Extra Firm Tofu pressed and cut into cubes
- 1 Tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp Bragg Premium Nutritional Yeast Seasoning
- ½ Tbsp Argo Corn Starch
Instructions
- Use only extra firm tofu!
- Using a clean, lint free cloth or cheesecloth, “press” the tofu block by covering with the cloth and setting a heavy plate on top for 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, you can gently press out as much moisture as you can with the palm of your hands.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Slice tofu lengthwise and then in quarters until it's cubed. Pro Tip! A serrated bread knife works great for slicing extra firm tofu!
- Using an EVOO or other oil spritzer, lightly spritz tofu. Then toss in liquid aminos or tamari.
- Sprinkle with nutritional yeast and cornstarch and lightly “toss”
- Gently spread out evenly on a parchment paper covered baking sheet
- Bake for 25-30 minutes turning once using tongs
- Serve immediately or allow to cool completely before refrigerating
