Vegan Tofu Bites are crispy, flavorful morsels that make a perfect appetizer for any gathering. Coated in a savory marinade and baked to perfection, these bites are both satisfying and healthy.

Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 200 grams
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons

• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon

• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Chopped fresh parsley - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

3. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and mix well.
4. Add the tofu cubes to the marinade and gently toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
