A delightful twist on tofu, these miso-glazed bites are perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
Press the tofu beforehand to remove excess moisture for better texture.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the miso, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, cayenne pepper, and sesame oil until smooth.
Ensure the miso is fully dissolved for an even glaze.
Gently toss the tofu cubes in the glaze until they are evenly coated.
Be gentle to avoid breaking the tofu cubes.
Arrange the tofu cubes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Leave some space between the cubes for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping the tofu halfway through, until golden and slightly crispy.
Flipping ensures both sides are evenly cooked.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
