Method

  • Preheat oven to 400 F and place the parchment on a baking sheet.

  • Cut the tofu into 6 slices. Now break each slice into medium-sized pieces. You can also just chop them into small cubes if you like, but the tofu will have a great, uneven texture when broken.

  • Place the tofu pieces in a large bowl along with the olive oil, cornstarch, and salt. Close the lid and shake gently to cover the layer. Spread the tofu evenly on a prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
