Description

This easy smoky baked tofu is easy to season and cook. Bakes in the oven quickly and perfect in bowls or topped in my vegan split pea soup.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block (450g) extra firm tofu, pressed and drained
  • 1 tsp smoke paprika
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp dry basil
  • 1 tsp maple syrup, optional
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F. After pressing your tofu, pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel. Cube your tofu into 16 pieces.
  2. Place the tofu into an airtight container with the remaining ingredients, seal container and give the ingredients a gentle shake to coat your tofu pieces evenly.
  3. Set tofu pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the oven for 25 minutes or until the edges have browned.

Notes

You can replace the nutritional yeast with 1 teaspoon cornstarch or 1 teaspoon potato starch.

I like to prep the tofu as the soup is cooking so it’s all done at about the same time.
