Chili tofu, inspired by everyone's favorite Chili Chicken, is packed with flavor and heat. The Tofu is perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and 100% oil free and Vegan. This dish will make the perfect little appetizer that everyone will enjoy, not to mention it's super easy to make!
The best part about this recipe is that you can easily use any meat substitute you like, you're not restricted to JUST tofu. You can use cauliflower, zucchini, or even soya chunks - all would go great with this recipe.

As usual this recipe is completely oil free, so I decided to bake my tofu at a high temperature to get that nice crispy texture, you can also air fry it.
Notes:
- I prefer using extra firm tofu, it's much easier to cut and it gives me the crispy coating I like.
- You will need to press the tofu straight from the package prior to use to get rid of excess moisture:
After removing the tofu from the package wrap it in a thin towel or cheese cloth and put a heavy weight (I used my heavy lid from my dutch oven- I swear it weighs like 5 lbs on it's own!). Leave the weight on top of the covered tofu for at least 30-45 minutes.
