Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

      Sprinkle the cornstarch over the tofu cubes and toss until evenly coated.

        Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the tofu, season with salt and pepper, and toss again to coat. Place the tofu on one side of the prepared sheet pan.

            Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the tofu and vegetables halfway through for even cooking.
