Made with only 4 simple ingredients, this Lemon Pepper Tofu recipe has quickly become a favorite in our house. Using a very easy cooking trick, the tofu becomes super crispy yet is ready to eat in 25 minutes. Check out the post for how to get crispy and hearty tofu every time!
Prep: Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Pat tofu dry with a clean towel, then break it into bite-sized chunks. In a large bowl, stir together cornstarch, lemon pepper seasoning, and salt. Add tofu and toss to evenly coat.
Bake: Arrange tofu pieces on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until golden brown and crispy.After testing both ways, I actually prefer baking the tofu directly on a greased baking sheet instead of parchment paper-lined. They get crispier!
Serve: Serve warm with rice and/or a veggie, like broccoli or asparagus!

Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to promote even cooking.To saute, cook in a nonstick or lightly greased skillet over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until tofu is browned and crispy on all sides.
