Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the tofu from sticking.
- To prepare the tofu: Drain the tofu and use your palms to gently squeeze out some of the water. Slice the tofu into thirds lengthwise so you have 3 even slabs. Stack the slabs on top of each other and slice through them lengthwise to make 3 even columns, then slice across to make 5 even rows (see photos).
- Line a cutting board with a lint-free tea towel or paper towels, then arrange the tofu in an even layer on the towel(s). Fold the towel(s) over the cubed tofu, then place something heavy on top (like another cutting board, topped with a cast iron pan or large cans of tomatoes) to help the tofu drain. Let the tofu rest for at least 10 minutes (preferably more like 30 minutes, if you have the time).
- Transfer the pressed tofu to a medium mixing bowl and drizzle with the olive oil and tamari. Toss to combine. Sprinkle the starch over the tofu, and toss the tofu until the starch is evenly coated, so there are no powdery spots remaining.
- Tip the bowl of tofu over onto your prepared baking sheet and arrange the tofu in an even layer. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing the tofu halfway, until the tofu is deeply golden on the edges. Use as desired.

ROSEMARY-LEMON BAKED TOFU
Baking tofu is a wonderful way for it to soak up all the delicious flavor in your marinade. In this recipe, the tofu has a bright, lemony flavor. If you have the time, let the tofu sit for an hour or so in the marinade before baking. However, if you are short on time, this step is not necessary. For those new to tofu, the block of tofu should be pressed between two plates, to remove any excess moisture from its packaging. Use a cast iron pan or heavy book. Baked tofu tastes even better the next day!

LEMONY BAKED TOFU
Yummy as a snack, sandwich filling, or topping for salads! It's got lots of flavor and holds it's shape well. A choice is given for two very different but equally inviting marinades. Be sure not to use an aluminum baking pan! Use the smallest baking pan you have that will hold the tofu in a single layer. An 8" square pan and a 7x9" pan both work fine. Adapted from Moosewood Restaurant New Classics cookbook.

- Lay the tofu out on a board or tray lined with paper towels or a clean tea towel. Cover with more paper. Lay a wooden cutting board or other weight on top to press out the excess moisture so that the marinade won’t be diluted. (I often use wine or water bottles as weights.) This will take about 30 minutes. It’s best to do this near the sink. You will be amazed by how much water comes out.
- Put all the ingredients together in a saucepan, except the herbs. Bring to a boil. Take it off the heat immediately and cool. Add the herbs once the marinade is off the heat.
- Once the tofu is drained, pat the slices dry. Spoon a little marinade onto a lightly greased baking dish and lay the tofu slices over it, side by side in a single layer. Pour the rest of the marinade over them. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, turning the slices over about halfway through. The tofu should be brown and almost dry, and any remaining marinade thick and syrupy. Serve immediately!

- Press the tofu before hand. I like to press it for a few hours, but press it for at least 15 minutes. When ready, preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Cut the block of tofu into cubes, and toss in the olive oil and a few pinches of salt and pepper. Then place each tofu cube in a single layer on a sheet pan.
- Bake the tofu at 425 degrees for 30-40 minutes, flipping half way through baking, until the tofu is nice and brown and crispy.
- While the tofu is baking, make the lemon sauce. You can wait about 10 minutes or so, because the sauce will only take a few minutes. I like to use a wok, so I can toss the tofu in the sauce.

- Marinate the tofu: In a large resealable bag or medium dish, mix together all of the marinade ingredients. Add in the slices of tofu and toss lightly to coat. Seal or cover and put in the fridge to marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes, but you can let marinate in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Panko coat the tofu: Take three small bowls. Add the flour to one. Pour off the leftover lemon marinade into the second, leaving the tofu behind. Mix together the panko, nutritional yeast, dried parsley, and garlic powder in the third.
- Take a slice of the marinated tofu and toss it into the flour to coat, then dip the tofu into the leftover marinate, and finally coat in the panko mixture. Repeat with all the tofu slices. You can bake or fry the tofu depending on your preference.
- To bake the tofu: Preheat your oven to 400F (200C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the panko coated tofu in a single layer and bake for 18 to 23 minutes until lightly golden.

- If using high protein tofu, there is no need to press. If using extra-firm or firm, let the tofu rest on its side in the tub it came in for about 10 minutes to drain. Cut the tofu into 6 rectangular slabs.
- Place the tofu slabs on a lined rimmed baking sheet. Add the asparagus in between the tofu as shown above, drizzle with a little olive oil, then add lemon slices overtop. Sprinkle with plenty of lemon pepper and generous pinch of salt.

- The first thing you need to do is freeze the block of tofu. This changes the texture. Freeze it in the package until completely frozen. This will probably take a few hours. Or you can freeze it over night.
- Next, thaw the tofu completely, then take it out of the package and drain it. Then press the tofu to get any excess liquid out while you preheat the oven. Press for 10-15 minutes.
- Once you've pressed the tofu, break the block of tofu into small pieces. The texture will be firm and meaty now. So it will break apart into pieces easily.
