I’m on a quest to make a version of salt and pepper tofu that isn’t fried. Inspired by the recipe for Rosemary-Roasted Tofu Cubes in Vegan Soul Kitchen, I changed up the spices and threw it in the oven.
It’s good but I think it can be better. Next time I’ll roast the tofu but without the salt and pepper seasonings and instead make a sauce in a wok, then mix in the tofu. That might be the way to go. Stay tuned for version 2.0.
Salt and Pepper Roasted Tofu
2 to 4 servings
1 pound firm or extra-firm tofu
2 teaspoons garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon freshly grounded black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 stalk green onion, chopped
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Cut the tofu into cubes.
In a bowl, combine the seasonings and oil, then mix well. Add the tofu and gently toss to coat the tofu with the mixture.
Place each tofu cube in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping each cube over about halfway through. Sprinkle with the green onions before serving.

It’s always the simplest dishes that are the hardest to perfect. This looks so good, especially for baked tofu! I’ll definitely have to try it.
Still looks really good though!!
we love salt ‘n pepper tofu, but we’re not big frying fans either. version 1.0 looks great to me, but i can’t wait to version 2.0 as well!
that is a great idea. I love fried stuff but it’s not the best way to consume calories. I keep forgetting about baking tofu but it’s so good that way.
yummmm!! i loooove roasted/baked tofu. the texture is so amazing. this recipe looks really simple but really delicious!
This definitely looks scrumptious!
What kind of sauce would you make? This looks good,I bake tofu alot just to give it more of a chewy texture, my husband prefers it that way. My son and I can eat it right out of the pak.
Such a pretty photo. It looks delicious regardless.
It looks fabulous!
Thanks for all of the comments!
