– How to Perfectly Roast Tofu –

The first thing to perfectly roasting tofu is to use firm or extra firm tofu, and if you can get it organic even better. Second, you want to roast it at your highest oven setting (mine is 250C – 480F) for exactly 15 minutes. Tofu can easily be overcooked, which gives it an unpleasant texture, 15 minutes is the exact amount of time to get that perfect tofu.
