Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 block extra-firm tofu organic recommended
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon mild chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- To get the tofu crispy, you have to drain any excess water from it. Slice the block of tofu horizontally into 2 or 3 even slabs and place tofu slabs on top of a stack of paper towels, with paper towels between each layer and on top of the top slab of tofu. Place a weight on top of the stack of tofu (books, cast iron skillet, cans, etc) and let the tofu drain for 15-30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat oven to 400 degree F and spray a baking sheet.
- Cut the tofu into cubes, strips or triangles and place into a medium bowl.
- Drizzle with olive oil and gently toss to coat. Then sprinkle with the arrowroot powder and the remaining spices and gently toss to coat.
- Place tofu onto baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through baking time.
