Instructions
- 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly oil a baking sheet.
- 2 Pat tofu dry with a paper towel. Slice in half lengthwise. Cut each half into 1/4-inch pieces, about 14 pieces in total. Place tofu between paper towels and drain, about 20 minutes.
- 3 Season tofu with salt and pepper. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- 4 Mix cornstarch, paprika, thyme, and seasoned salt together to make cornstarch seasoning.
- 5 Pat any excess moisture off the tofu. Sprinkle cornstarch seasoning evenly over top. Arrange on a baking sheet.
- 6 Bake in the preheated oven until tofu starts to brown, about 7 minutes. Turn over and continue baking until the upper side is darkened, about 3 minutes more.
- 7 Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu and fry until golden-brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
