prepare oven and pan

Preheat oven to 375°, prepare baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

press tofu

Press and drain the tofu, pouring off liquid as necessary. This will take about 30 minutes using a tofu press. If pressing between plates with weights, it might take up to one hour.

mix ingredients

While the oven is preheating and the tofu is pressing/draining, stir together all other ingredients into a medium-sized bowl.

crumble tofu

When the tofu is pressed and drained, hand crumble into small pieces directly into the mixing bowl with the other ingredients. Toss together and stir to evenly coat.

bake

Turn onto a prepared baking sheet. Spread evenly and put it in the preheated oven for a total of 44-50minutes, checking at intervals. (See next instruction.)

After putting the tofu in the oven, set the timer for 20 minutes. Open the oven after the first 20 minutes and turn and stir the tofu, moving the dryer tofu from the outer edges to the center and the moister tofu in the center, out to the edges. Put back into the oven and check again in 20 more minutes. Then at 5 minute increments until it&#39;s done.
