Crispy Baked Garlic Tofu
Ingredients:
1 (14 oz) block firm tofu, cut into bite-sized cubes
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tbsp cornstarch + 5 tbsp water
1 1/2 tbsp light brown sugar
1 tsp sriracha sauce
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400F. Place tofu pieces on a baking
sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone baking
mat. Bake tofu for about 35-40 minutes until golden
and crisp around the edges, flipping tofu halfway
through.
When tofu is almost done, make the sauce. In a small
saucepan over medium heat, add garlic, soy sauce,
onion powder, brown sugar and sriracha. Add cornstarch
and water to a small bowl and mix until cornstarch is
fully dissolved. Add the saucepan. Bring to a gentle
boil and stir until everything is completely mixed
and sauce has thickened. If your sauce is too thick,
you can add another 1 tbsp of water to thin it slightly.
Add tofu to saucepan and coat with sauce. Serve while
warm. You can serve with rice if desired. You can also
garnish with fresh chopped scallions.
