Instructions

Step 1/4

Prepare Tofu

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). In a bowl, toss the cubed tofu with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread the tofu on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy.
