Ingredients

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

Steps:

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.
Unwrap tofu and cut into small cubes like the pictures.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, place tofu into a bowl, and cover with soy sauce. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Spread marinated tofu evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Enjoy on top of salads or my Peaceful Easy Feeling Buddha Bowl.

EASY BAKED TOFU CUBES

Easy Baked Tofu Cubes image

This is my staple tofu marinade! I add it to stir frys and salads or just eat it plain. The recipe was based on a friend's, but I altered the amounts a bit to my taste. I like my tofu best if it's frozen and unthawed before using. Time to make doesn't include marinating.
