Directions

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
• In a bowl, whisk together the tamari, olive oil, and a pinch of coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Gently toss the tofu cubes in the tamari mixture, making sure each piece is evenly coated.
• Spread the tofu cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
• Serve the baked tofu warm, or store in the refrigerator to enjoy later as a protein boost in various dishes.
