Ingredients

• 1 block (approximately 14 oz) Firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Drain the tofu block and press it using either a tofu press or by placing it between two plates weighed down with a heavy object for about 10 minutes. This removes excess moisture and helps the tofu crisp up in the oven.

Step 3

After pressing, slice the tofu into thin, uniform slices about 1/8-inch thick. Consistency is key to ensuring even baking.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.

Step 5

Gently brush or toss the tofu slices with the marinade, ensuring each slice is evenly coated.

Step 6

Arrange the marinated tofu slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving a little space between each slice.

Step 7

Bake the tofu slices in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, flip each slice over and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

Step 9

Serve the tofu chips immediately as a snack or side dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
