Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degree Fahrenheit.

Step 2

Transfer the sliced paneer cubes to a large bowl, and add salt and oil, gently mix well to coat the paneer cubes.

Step 3

Add the garlic powder, lime juice and black pepper powder also to the paneer cubes, gently mix the cubes to combine all ingredients so the paneer cubes will be coated nicely with the spices. Make sure you mix gently to avoid the paneer cubes crumbling.

Step 4

Let it sit for about 15 minutes for marination.

Step 5

Line a baking sheet with non stick silicon mat (which will make the work easy as the paneer tends to stick to the pan while baking) and lay the marinated paneer cubes in a single layer (you can discard any excess oil or water residue from the bowl, and just transfer the paneer cubes to the baking sheet).

Step 6

Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, as the paneer will get nicely cooked by this time, leaving a tender and soft texture inside and a nice crispy outside.
