🔥 Spicy Baked Tofu (Keto, High-Protein & Easy)

If you're looking for a flavorful, protein-packed keto option that’s easy to prep and super versatile, this Spicy Baked Tofu is your new go-to! Whether you're tossing it over greens, eating it plain, packing it for lunch, or adding it to a salad, this crispy, spicy tofu is the plant-based keto star you didn’t know you needed.

🥣 Ingredients:

• 1 block extra-firm tofu (14 oz), pressed and cubed

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos for lower sodium)

• 1–2 tsp chili paste

Optional additions for flavor depth (mix & match to taste):

• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1 tsp lemon juice

• 1 tsp hot sauce (sugar-free)

• 1 tsp rice vinegar

• ½ tsp chili powder

 Instructions:

1. Prep the tofu: Press tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes.

2. Marinate: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, chili paste, and any optional ingredients you’re using. Add tofu and gently toss to coat. Let sit for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour for more flavor).

3. Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread tofu cubes in a single layer.

4. Crisp it up: Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until edges are golden and crispy.

5. Serve: Enjoy hot, room temp, or cold—great over greens, with avocado, or straight out of the fridge!
