Ingredients

  • 1 block firm or extra firm tofu
  • 3 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce check ingredients for no honey or animal products

Instructions

  • Heat oven at 420 degrees
  • Take tofu out of package and press for 15 minutes - don't skip this, it will make the tofu crispier. If you don't have a tofu press, wrap in a towel, and put heavy pans or books on top.

  • Place tofu on a lined baking sheet, making sure the pieces are spaced out and not touching. Bake for 20-25 minutes until tofu looks golden brown and crispy
  • Take tofu out of the oven and set aside. Heat a skillet on medium heat and add a little bit of oil, the BBQ sauce and a splash of water if needed. Stir the sauce, while it warms u for about two minutes.
    1 cup BBQ sauce
  • Add in the baked tofu cubes and stir until they are well coated. Simmer on medium low heat for 1-2 minutes or until the BBQ sauce starts to caramelize and tofu firms up again.
