  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

  3. Toss tofu cubes with tamari or soy sauce, cornstarch, and gluten-free breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the tofu on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes; let sit for an additional 5 minutes for extra crispiness.
