Coat Bake Tofu Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Blot tofu dry. Cut into 3/4-in. cubes. Place on a clean kitchen towel; cover with another towel. Place a cutting board on top; gently place a large cast iron skillet on top. Let stand 10 minutes. , Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, sesame oil, salt, garlic powder and pepper. Place cornstarch in a separate shallow dish. Add tofu to soy mixture; turn to coat. Add tofu, a few pieces at a time, to the cornstarch; toss to coat. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake until cubes are golden brown and crispy, 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through. Garnish with green onions, if desired.

Steps:

• Place tofu block in an airtight container and put in the freezer until frozen, about 8 hours.
• Transfer frozen tofu to the refrigerator to thaw, about 24 hours.
• Place thawed tofu block onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Drain and discard any accumulated liquid from the tofu. Break tofu into 1-inch chunks and place in a large bowl. Add barbecue sauce and bread crumbs and toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Steps:

• Drain the tofu, wrap in 4-5 sheets of kitchen paper, put on a plate and put something heavy over the top, like a wooden chopping board, or a tray with a few tins on it. Leave for 20 mins to drain the excess moisture from the tofu.
• Mix the cornflour, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Unravel the tofu from the paper, cut in half through the centre, then cut into triangles, cubes or strips.
• Toss the tofu pieces in the spiced cornflour to coat all over. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the tofu for 2-4 mins on each side until golden, crunchy and browned at the edges. Smaller cubes will take 2 mins each side, larger triangles will take 4 mins. Cook in batches if you need to, adding a little more oil if the pan gets dry.
• Drain the cooked tofu on kitchen paper and season with a pinch more salt before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F
• Mix all the dry ingredients in a medium sized plastic bag or in a bowl.
• Pat dry the tofu on paper towel.
• Place the slices or cubes inside a plastic bag and gently shake to coat tofu with the dry mixture.
• Place on a greased baking sheet.
• Lightly spray tofu with cooking oil spray.
• Place in oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
• Serve with your favorite dip (i.e. bar-b-que sauce, ranch dressing, honey-mustard, etc.).
