Crispy Baked Tofu Bites with Peanut Dip

Ingredients

• 5 oz extra-firm tofu
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp natural peanut butter
• 1 tsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp maple syrup
• 2 tsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Press the tofu under a towel 5 minutes, then cube it and toss with the olive oil, half the soy sauce and the cornstarch until each piece is lightly coated — the cornstarch is what gives the crisp shell.
2. Spread the cubes apart on a lined baking sheet and bake 20-22 minutes, flipping once, until golden and crisp on the outside.
3. Meanwhile whisk the peanut butter, remaining soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup and 1-2 tsp warm water into a smooth, dippable sauce.
4. Serve the hot tofu bites with the peanut dip alongside.
