Essential Baked Tofu Cubes
Essential Baked Tofu Cubes are savoury, oven browned, and tender with crisped edges; a perfect addition to weekly meal prep, rice bowls, and more.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 block of medium/firm tofu approx 450 gms
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoon sunflower oil or other neutral oil
- 4-5 teaspoon tamari, or gluten free tamari or soy sauce *see note
Instructions
- Set your oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with a silicone baking sheet or compostable parchment paper.
- While your oven is heating, drain, rinse, and pat your tofu block dry with a clean kitchen towel, and cut into cubes of approximately ¾”.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the tamari and the two oils until combined. Gently add in the tofu cubes, and use a silicone spatula to gently toss the tofu in the marinade, trying your best not to break up the cubes. Set aside until the oven is ready.
- Gently empty the bowl of marinated tofu and whatever liquid is left onto your prepared baking sheet and spread the cubes apart as much as possible. Bake for 20-25 minutes, gently flipping the cubes with a spatula once during the cooking time.
- Eat hot, at room temperature, or even cold with whatever accompaniments tickle your fancy. Enjoy!
Notes
I prefer these cubes made with 5 teaspoon of tamari, but if you prefer a slightly less salty but still tasty result, use 4 teaspoon of tamari instead. If gluten free, use gluten free tamari or soy sauce.
