4,3,2,1 Tofu Bites
These baked Tofu Bites come together easily with just 4 ingredients (besides the tofu)! Enjoy them warm or cold as is, on a salad, in a wrap, or any way you'd like.
Ingredients
- 14 ounces extra firm tofu
- 4 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 3 tablespoons tamari use reduced sodium if preferred
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (see notes for oil-free/lower fat version)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
Instructions
- Press the tofu using a tofu press or the heavy object method for at least 30 minutes. Drain any excess liquid and cut into 1/2" cubes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the nutritional yeast, tamari, olive oil, rice vinegar.
- Add the tofu bites to the mixture and gently fold with a silicone spatula until all pieces are coated.
- Transfer the coated tofu to the prepared baking sheet and carefully spread the pieces out evenly so that they are not overlapping.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Carefully stir/flip the tofu pieces and bake for another 15 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and stir the tofu pieces around on the baking sheet. Return the pan to the oven for 10 more minutes with the heat off.
Notes
For an oil-free/lower fat version, use 2 tablespoons vegetable broth (low-sodium if preferred) in place of the olive oil. Bake at 425°F instead of 400°F. Note that the tofu will be more prone to sticking to the parchment paper without the oil, and some pieces may break up a little, but the end result is still delicious!
The oil-free version reduces the total calories per serving to 131 and fat per serving to 5 grams.
