Easy Baked Tofu

This easy baked tofu is something that I meal prep every single week. I add to it to so many different kinds of Buddha bowls, or any other kind of simple lunch or dinner meals. It's the perfect recipe to make in bulk on a Sunday, and combine it with some carbs and veggies to have your meals prepared for the whole week. I can never get sick of it because there are so many ways to enjoy it!

What you will need

• 1 16oz block of firm tofu
• 3 tablespoon corn starch
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• whatever sauce you like to pair it with

How to make your easy baked tofu

• Start by draining the excess water from your tofu. Use a kitchen towel or paper towel to pat the tofu down and get rid of extra moisture.

• Slice the tofu into small cubes. The size of these is up to you.

• In a bowl, add the corn starch, salt, garlic powder, and pepper and mix them well.

• Take each tofu cube and cover it in the corn starch mixture. Then line it on a baking sheet.

• Once all of the tofu cubes are ready, bake the tofu for 20 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit / 232 degrees Celsius.

• After 20 minutes, take out the tofu and dip each cube into whatever sauce you like that pairs well with your meal. I was making a Thai inspired Buddha bowl, so I covered my tofu in Thai peanut sauce. If you don't want any additional flavor, you can totally skip this step.
• Once you have added the sauce or dip to your tofu, put them back on the baking sheet and bake for another 20 minutes.
• Add them to the rest of your meal and enjoy!
