Method
 

How to Make Tangy Dill Pickle Tofu Bites
  1. Press Tofu: Start by pressing the tofu for about 20 minutes until it releases excess water.
  2. Cube Tofu: Slice the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes, roughly 1-2 inches each.
  3. Marinate Tofu: Place the tofu cubes in a bowl or a ziploc bag, then pour in the dill pickle juice. Let them marinate in the fridge for a minimum of one hour.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Drain the excess pickle juice from the marinated tofu and pat it dry. Toss the cubes with all coating ingredients until evenly coated.
  5. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Bake Tofu: Spread the tofu cubes in a single layer on the sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  7. Serve: Serve these delightful bites warm, garnished with freshly chopped dill if desired.
