Ingredients

  • 1 (14 ounce or 400 gram) package super-firm or extra-firm tofu (if using extra-firm tofu, you'll need to press it), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil (or high-heat oil of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¾ cup vegan barbecue sauce
  • Fresh chives, for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the tofu pieces into a medium bowl and add the soy sauce, oil, cornstarch, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Stir gently until the tofu is evenly coated with the other ingredients. Use your hands if needed.
  • Arrange the tofu pieces on the baking sheet and place it into the oven.
  • Bake the tofu for about 30 minutes, turning the pieces halfway through, until browned and crispy.
  • While the tofu bakes, heat up the barbecue sauce on the stove or in the microwave.
  • After the tofu has finished baking, pour the barbecue sauce over it, then toss to coat.
  • Sprinkle the tofu with chives and serve.
