Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F with a rack set in center and set a sheet pan in oven while it heats.
2. Cut tofu into pieces about 1 1/2 inches tall and 3/4 inch wide and thick. Lay a kitchen towel on a work surface. Arrange tofu on top in a single layer, cover with towel, and press lightly with your hands to remove liquid from tofu. In a large bowl, gently turn tofu with 2 Tbsp. olive oil to coat, using a rubber spatula or your fingers. In a small bowl, combine 3 Tbsp. everything bagel seasoning, the cornstarch, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Sprinkle it evenly over the tofu, turning tofu as needed, until it’s evenly coated.
3. Carefully remove hot sheet pan from oven. Arrange tofu over one-third of the pan. Bake tofu until it’s lightly browned on the underside (lift to check), about 15 minutes.
