makes 4+ servings
1 or more (16-ounce) containers extra-firm tofu
1 tablespoon cornstarch (per 16-ounces of tofu)
1. Drain the tofu and set onto a towel. Cut the tofu into 1" squares and set in an even layer on one half of the towel. Flip the other half of the towel over top of the tofu squares and set a heavy object (such as a cast-iron skillet) on top. Press for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat. Set aside.
3. Toss the tofu with cornstarch. This will help to make it crispier.
4. Transfer the tofu onto the prepped baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping the tofu over every 10 minutes or so to evenly cook on each side. Bake until golden and slightly puffed. Remove from the oven and use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
