Basic Baked Tofu

2 ingredients
9 steps

Ingredients

  • 28 ounces tofu, extra firm (this should be roughly 2 blocks of tofu, or two packages from the grocery store)
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. 2
    Put oil onto a paper towel and wipe down a cookie sheet with rims with the oiled cloth.
  3. 3
    This should be just enough to coat the pan to prevent the tofu from sticking.
  4. 4
    Drain the tofu, then wrap and press gently with paper towels or a cloth towel to get out the excess liquid.
  5. 5
    Do not press too hard.
  6. 6
    Cut the blocks of tofu into 1/2 inch squares (or whatever shape you want).
  7. 7
    I usually cut 4 rows across and 4 down, then I take each piece and cut horizontally - almost like butterflying the cube, but slicing all the way through.
  8. 8
    Place on cookie sheet close together but not touching.
  9. 9
    Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, turning pieces over halfway through cooking time.
