Ingredients
-
1 tsp smoked paprika
-
1/2 tsp cumin
-
1/4 tsp chili powder (add more for preference)
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
1/4 tsp Himalayan pink sea salt, to taste
-
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
-
1 tbsp avocado oil
-
16 oz extra firm tofu drained, patted dry, torn into bite- sized pieces
-
3 scallions, chopped
-
1/4 cup Betr BBQ Sauce
Directions
Preheat oven to 425° F. Spritz a jelly roll pan (rimmed baking sheet) with avocado oil. Alternatively, use a paper towel to wipe a light coat of avocado oil on the inside of the pan. Avoid using commercial oil sprays as they are often full of other ingredients or substances
In a large bowl, combine all spices. Slowly whisk in the 1 Tbsp of avocado oil until well combined. Gently toss tofu pieces in the mixture until they are evenly covered
Arrange tofu pieces in a single layer on the baking sheet
Roast tofu in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the tofu is crispy around the edges
Serve sprinkled with chopped scallions, or toss with ¼ cup Betr BBQ Sauce
Recipe Note
Tearing the tofu as opposed to cutting it leaves the edges of the pieces uneven, allowing for additional crispiness when baking. The lack of uniformity also lends a visual appeal, not to mention that it is just seems faster than cutting.
