Notes
For crispier tofu: Tear the tofu into smaller pieces rather than large chunks, and spread them out in a single layer so they have room to brown.
Make-ahead tip: For holiday meals, you can toss the tofu with the oil and seasonings a day ahead. Refrigerate in an airtight container until you're ready to bake.
Storing: Leftovers will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy reheated or cold.
