Easy Sesame Baked Tofu for 4 Servings

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, toss the pressed tofu cubes with avocado oil and salt, then sprinkle in the cornstarch and toss until every cube has a matte, white coating.
3. Spread the tofu in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping the cubes halfway through, until golden-brown and firm.
4. While the tofu bakes, whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, toasted sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and rice vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
5. Simmer the sauce for 3–5 minutes until it thickens into a velvety syrup that coats the back of a spoon.
6. Toss the hot baked tofu in the thickened glaze or drizzle the glaze over the top.
7. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
