Healthy, crispy, filling: Black pepper tofu recipe | Shaking My Tofu

Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 12:07:49 GMT

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and prep an oven-safe baking tray- I love my Pyrex– by oil-spraying it.

Step 2

To prepare the tofu: Drain the tofu and gently squeeze out some of the water, either use your palms or use a cutting board. If you make tofu quite often, I recommend investing in a tofu press. This helps drain the tofu so you get a crispy result every time. Anywho, after draining, let the tofu rest for around 10-15 minutes.

Step 3

In the meantime, prepare the sauce. In a bowl, mix the cornstarch, oil, tamari and black pepper. Blend well so that there is no starch piece left visible.

Step 4

You’ll love this part: Pour this mixture, along with the drained and cubed tofu pieces, in a zip lock bag. Zip it and give it a good shake until the tofu pieces are coated with the mixture.

Step 5

Pour the coated tofu pieces over onto your prepared baking tray. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the tofu is golden on the edges. You might want to give it a toss after the first 15 minutes and then continue baking.

Step 6

If the tray is broiler-safe, I recommend broiling for a few minutes just to get even more crunch!

Step 7

Ta-daaa. Your tofu is ready. You can use it as is, as a side dish, in salads, in stir-fries, and so on.
