Ingredients
  

  • 1 16 oz 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

Instructions
 

  • Start by draining the excess water from your tofu. Then use a kitchen towel or paper towel to pat the tofu down and get rid of extra moisture.
  • Next, slice your 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 like your tofu plain, 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 :)
