Baked Sweet Chili Tofu

Step 1

Pre-heat the oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Press the tofu, if you haven’t already. Cut the tofu block in half, then cut each half into 8 even cubes (or cut to your liking).

Step 2

Place the tofu in a large mixing bowl, then drizzle on the tamari and 2 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce. Use a silicone spatula to gently toss the tofu until it is evenly coated. Sprinkle the cornstarch on top, then fold again until evenly distributed.

Step 3

Transfer the tofu to the baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece. Place on the top rack of the oven and bake for 13 minutes, then remove from the oven and flip. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 12 to 14 minutes, until golden and crispy.

Step 4

Place the baked tofu into a clean bowl, then toss with the remaining 1-2 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce (I used 2 tablespoons for a glossier coating). Serve as desired; leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
