Herb Crusted Baked Tofu
This is my favorite baked tofu recipe. The prep time to prepare this protein is quick. The smaller you cut the tofu, may reduce the cooking time. In addition, the smaller it is the crispier it can come out.
If you do try this recipe out, let me know if it becomes your favorite too!
