Ingredients

• 14 oz extra-firm tofu
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 3 tbsp almond flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess moisture. Using a tofu press or by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for at least 15 minutes is recommended.

Step 3

Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into 1-inch cubes.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce or tamari, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined to form the marinade.

Step 5

Add the tofu cubes to the marinade and gently toss to coat each piece evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the almond flour over the marinated tofu and toss again until the cubes are evenly coated.

Step 7

Arrange the tofu cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other for optimal crispiness.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the tofu cubes halfway through the baking time to ensure even crispiness on all sides.

Step 9

Once the tofu is golden brown and crispy, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve as a main dish or appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
