How to Prepare Maple Ginger Tofu [Vegan]

Press the tofu around an hour before cooking to allow all the water to drain⁣- this is an important step to ensure the tofu becomes crispy!
Preheat the oven to 400°F
Slice the tofu into small cubes.
Toss the tofu in the cornstarch to evenly coat all cubes⁣.
Over a medium heat, heat some coconut oil in a pan then add in the coated tofu, turning a few times until all sides turn golden⁣.
In a bowl or blender add the maple syrup, coconut oil, ginger, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder, and mix/blend until smooth.⁣
Transfer the tofu into a bowl and pour the sauce over it to coat all cubes evenly (don't get rid of the remaining sauce!)⁣.
Transfer the tofu into a baking tray and pour what’s left of the sauce over the cubes⁣.
Bake for 15 minutes (or until the sauce is bubbling).⁣
Serve!
