Equipment

1 Baking Sheet

Ingredients

16 ounces extra-firm tofu
2 1/4 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon arrowroot powder or cornstarch
cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat oven 425 degrees F. Brush or spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
Cut extra-firm tofu into small cubes and place it in a large bowl. If you are using regular tofu, make sure to press it underweight for about 20 minutes before using it so that you can get rid of excess water.
In a bowl, add soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, paprika, pepper powder, and corn starch. Mix well.
Pour this mixture over cubed tofu and mix well so that the mixture coats the tofu evenly. Marinade for about 10 minutes so that tofu soaks up all the flavors.
Grease the baking tray with cooking spray and place the marinated tofu on it. Make sure you keep them at least half an inch apart from each other.
Place the baking tray in a preheated oven for 40 minutes. Flip them after 20 minutes so that the tofu gets crispy from the other sides as well.
Once done, remove the tray from the oven and serve tofu
