Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu, pressed and drained
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut tofu into bite-sized cubes or “wing” shapes. Toss gently with cornstarch, olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange tofu pieces on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.
- Meanwhile, whisk together maple syrup, sriracha, soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Once tofu is baked, transfer it to a large bowl and pour the sauce over. Toss gently to coat.
- Return tofu to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
- Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
Notes
- For best texture, press tofu for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Air fryer option: cook tofu at 375°F (190°C) for 15–18 minutes, shaking halfway through.
- Add more sriracha for a spicier kick, or reduce for a milder flavor.
- Serve with a side of ranch or cooling dip for contrast.
