Baked Everything Tofu
Everything Tofu — covered in a mixture of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, onion, and salt — is baked tofu perfection! Serve it in a sandwich, a Buddha bowl, or a salad. It’s also makes a delicious dinner alongside sautéed vegetables and cooked grains.
Ingredients
- 1 14-ounce package extra firm tofu drained and pressed
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup low-sodium tamari
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon garlic granules
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Slice the tofu into 8 to 10 thin slabs, about ¼” thick and place them in a shallow dish.
- In a small bowl, mix together the tamari and apple cider and pour the mixture over the tofu. Make sure the pieces are totally submerged. Allow the tofu to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes. You can allow the tofu to marinate for several hours in the fridge, if you like.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the cornstarch, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic granules, minced onion, and sea salt together in a shallow dish. Dip the tofu slabs in the mixture, making sure each piece is totally covered.
- Place the tofu on the baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes until golden brown, flipping the pieces after 05 minutes.
- Allow the tofu to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. The tofu will get denser and chewier after it cools.
Notes
This recipe can also be made in an air fryer. Cook your tofu on 400°F for 10 minutes, flipping the pieces after 5 minutes.
