Baked Honey Garlic Tofu

Course Side Dish

Ingredients

For the Tofu

  • 400 g extra firm tofu, cubed
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch⁣⁣⁣
  • avocado oil

For the Honey Garlic Sauce

  • ⅓ cup honey⁣⁣⁣
  • 1 tbsp tamari
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar⁣⁣⁣
  • 1 tbsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp aleppo pepper
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds⁣⁣⁣

Instructions

For the Tofu

  • Preheat oven to 425℉
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum (see note below) and spray with avocado oil.
  • 
Place the cubed tofu in a bowl and toss with the cornstarch until thoroughly coated.

  • Place each piece of the tofu onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them, so that they aren’t touching.
  • Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, turning the tofu cubes halfway through, until slightly golden and crisp. 

  • Toss the tofu in the sauce while it is still hot.

For the Honey Garlic Sauce

  • While the tofu is in the oven, prepare the sauce.
  • 
In a medium bowl, stir together the honey, tamari, sweet chili sauce, vinegar, garlic, sliced green onion, aleppo pepper and sesame seeds.

Notes

I suggest using aluminum to line the baking sheet, and not parchment. The aluminum and high heat will get the tofu cubes golden and crispy.
