Ingredients

14 ounces Extra firm tofu

1 Tbsp. Paprika

1/2 tsp. Sugar

1/8 tsp. Salt

1/8 tsp., ground Black pepper

1/8 tsp. Ground ginger

1/4 tsp. Ground cardamom

1/2 tsp. Ground cumin

1/8 tsp. Ground cloves

1/8 tsp. Ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp. Ground allspice

1/8 tsp. Cayenne pepper (or to taste)

2 tsp. Cornstarch

2 tsp. Olive oil

Instructions

Drain tofu from package. Slice to one inch thickness and place on a paper towel-lined plate or tray.

Place another layer of paper towels on top of the tofu. Stack another plate/tray of similar size on top of the tofu and paper towels. Add weight in order to press out water. Let sit for 20 minutes, changing the paper towels as needed.

Place all of the spices, corn starch , and 1 Tbsp of olive oil in a small mixing bowl and stir well.

When the paper towels are no longer absorbing water from the tofu, remove the tofu from the tray. Rub a generous amount of the spice mixture on each slice of tofu and place on a sheet tray.

Spray tofu with cooking spray and place in the broiler until golden brown and crsipy (~5 minutes).

When golden on the outside, place the tray in a 350°F oven until warmed through.

Serve warm.
