extra firm tofu
1/3
cup
tamari

1/2
cup
whole wheat breadcrumbs
(can substitute with regular wheat or panko breadcrumbs)
1
Tablespoon
Italian seasoning
1/4
teaspoon
salt
Tools:

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove tofu from packaging and wrap with paper towels or kitchen towel.
Place tofu block on a plate and put another plate on top. Add heavy objects to the top of the plate and let the tofu sit for 20 minutes
Unwrap tofu and cut into cubes. One block of tofu should yield around 40 cubes.
Place in medium-sized mixing bowl and pour tamari on top. Use a rubber spatula to stir. Let sit for 10 minutes.
In another mixing bowl, mix breadcrumbs and seasonings. Add marinaded tofu mix to coat evenly.
Place the tofu on a nonstick baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Flip, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool. Leftovers keep for 5-7 days.

Notes
If you use soy sauce instead of tamari, omit the additional salt. Soy sauce contains
a lot
more sodium than tamari!
