Basic Baked Tofu

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 28 ounces tofu, extra firm (this should be roughly 2 blocks of tofu, or two packages from the grocery store)
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 375 degrees f.
• 2 put oil onto a paper towel and wipe down a cookie sheet with rims with the oiled cloth. this should be just enough to coat the pan to prevent the tofu from sticking.
• 3 drain the tofu, then wrap and press gently with paper towels or a cloth towel to get out the excess liquid. do not press too hard.
• 4 cut the blocks of tofu into 1/2 inch squares (or whatever shape you want). i usually cut 4 rows across and 4 down, then i take each piece and cut horizontally - almost like butterflying the cube, but slicing all the way through.
• 5 place on cookie sheet close together but not touching.
• 6 bake for 30 to 35 minutes, turning pieces over halfway through cooking time.
