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/flip the tofu pieces again. Return the pan to the oven for 10 more minutes with the heat off. Enjoy hot or cold.
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.
