👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Press extra-firm tofu for 30 minutes to an hour to remove excess water, then pat dry thoroughly with paper towels and cut into 2 cm cubes.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together tamari, olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to create the flavorful marinade.
3. Add the tofu cubes to the bowl, toss gently to ensure each piece is evenly coated, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes for best flavor absorption.
4. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for non-stick baking and easy cleanup.
5. Arrange the marinated tofu cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other for even crisping.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the tofu is golden brown and slightly crispy on all sides.
