- In bowl, toss tofu with cornstarch. Spread pieces on prepared baking sheet in single layer. Bake 30 min., turning halfway through, until tofu cubes are golden brown and crispy on 2 sides.

Tips
Serve baked tofu warm — as it cools, it loses crispiness. Sprinkle with chopped green onion and toasted sesame seeds as flavourful garnishes.
