If croutons are your thing, you must try my baked tofu croutons. They will help dress up any salad with texture, flavor, and crunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block extra firm tofu ( organic)
- 2 tablespoons EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
- 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Start by pre-heating the oven to 375 degrees.

- Cut tofu in medium sized cubes.
- In a small bowl mix EVOO, chili powder, black pepper, and paprika.
- Spray cooking dish with coconut oil.
- Coat each tofu cube in marinade and place on cooking sheet.
- Next, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of tofu.
- Cook at 375 for 30 minutes for lightly browned tofu and 40 minutes for crunchy tofu.
- Let cool for a few minutes and place on salad.
- Tada! Hope you enjoy this baked tofu recipe and please share, share, share how you like it in the comments below.
