Lightly crispy, these Spicy Baked Tofu medallions are made with just 6 ingredients and are perfect to serve up as a holiday entrée or everyday side dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 14 oz container of extra firm tofu
  • 4 tsp coriander powder
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp cayenne optional, leave out or reduce for a more mild version
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tbsp arrowroot powder
  • Oil spray
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Thoroughly dry the tofu. I like to wrap it in some paper towels or kitchen towels and leave it on a plate, with a pan on top of it to squeeze as much of the water out. I change the towels after 5 minutes or so. And repeat this 3-4 times.
  • When tofu is dry, slice it into thin slices - one block of tofu should have 8 slices or so.
  • Place the arrowroot powder on a plate.
  • Mix the spices together and leave these on another plate.
  • Dredge each slice of tofu in the arrowroot powder and then the spices. Place on a parchment-lined baking tray. Repeat until all tofu slices are dredged and placed on the tray.
  • Using the cooking spray, spray the tofu slices well.
  • Place the tray with spiced tofu in the oven to bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Then, carefully pull out the tray and flip the tofu slices over.
  • Spray the flipped tofu slices with the cooking spray.
  • Place the flipped tofu slices back in the oven and let bake for another 15 minutes.
  • When it comes out of the oven, season them with salt and pepper.
  • You can also brush the slices/medallions of tofu with some olive oil to get the salt and pepper to grab on.
  • Serve warm.
