Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 3 tablespoons gluten-free breadcrumbs
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1/3 cup low sodium tamari or soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. In a large bowl, toss the tofu with low sodium tamari or soy sauce until coated.
  4. Sprinkle corn starch and gluten-free breadcrumbs over the tofu, tossing to coat evenly.
  5. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread the tofu cubes in a single layer. Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden brown.
  6. In a small sauté pan, heat avocado oil and sauté minced garlic until lightly browned.
  7. Add remaining tamari or soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil to the pan.
  8. Whisk together corn starch with two tablespoons of water; add to the sauce mixture and cook until thickened.
  9. Once baked, toss tofu in the sauce until well-coated before serving.
