    Easy Baked Tofu (20 Minutes!)

    Easy Baked Tofu

    Tofu gets a bad wrap and it’s all usually based on falsehoods. The truth? It’s great for adding heartiness, texture, protein, iron and a little “oomph” to different types of dishes. But, most people feel like they can never get it quite right. Here is a recipe that’s virtually foolproof. And, you only need one ingredient and 20 minutes of your time. It’s my Easy Baked Tofu (20 Minutes!)

    Easy Baked Tofu

    This recipe takes no time to prepare, is super simple, and adds a little bulk to wimpy meals.

    Easy Baked Tofu

    First, cut your tofu into little cubes like you see in the picture. Then, throw it into some type of container and cover it with some low-sodium soy or tamari sauce. Let it sit for about 10 minutes or so to soak up the flavor. If you want to get really crazy, let it sit overnight in the fridge.

    Second, spread it all out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop it in the oven at 350 degrees and let it bake for 20 minutes.

    Third, add it to your salads, favorite stir fires, or just plain old rice and veggies.

    A delicious foolproof 20-minute easy baked tofu that’s perfect for salads, your favorite stir fries, and more! Super simple and quick! You only need one ingredient and 20 minutes of your time. Yes, it’s that easy.

    • Total Time: 40 minutes

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 14- ounce block extra firm tofu (NOT Silken)
    • Low-sodium soy sauce or tamari for marinating

    Instructions

    1. Wrap your extra firm tofu in a paper towel, place between two plates and set something heavy on top – like books or canned goods – and let sit for 10 minutes. This is to get most of the water out of the tofu so it will cook better and absorb the marinade.
    2. Unwrap tofu and cut into small cubes like the pictures.
    3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, place tofu into a bowl, and cover with soy sauce. Let sit for 10 minutes.
    4. Spread marinated tofu evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    5. Bake for 20 minutes.
    6. Enjoy on top of salads or my Peaceful Easy Feeling Buddha Bowl.

      Hi, I hope to try this! But I think you mean stir fries, not stir fires.

        Uh, yes. Thank you:) But, stir fires are always good too. LOL!

      I’m more of a “grazer” than sit down to a meal person so these are perfect for me.
