Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place tofu block in an airtight container and put in the freezer until frozen, about 8 hours.
Step 3
Transfer frozen tofu to the refrigerator to thaw, about 24 hours.
Step 4
Place thawed tofu block onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 5
Drain and discard any accumulated liquid from the tofu. Break tofu into 1-inch chunks and place in a large bowl. Add barbecue sauce and bread crumbs and toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
