Crispy Smoked Tofu Chips

These crispy smoked tofu chips are salty, savory, and ridiculously snackable. Thin slices of smoked tofu get tossed with soy sauce, olive oil, and a smoky-spiced seasoning, then baked hot until crisp around the edges. Perfect as a crunchy topper for bowls and salads — or honestly just eaten straight off the tray.

Tofu Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (fan). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the smoked tofu very thin (the thinner the slices, the crispier they get).
  3. Add the tofu slices to a mixing bowl. Sprinkle over the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, sweet paprika, and smoked paprika. Toss to coat.
  4. Add the soy sauce and olive oil and toss again until every slice is lightly coated.
  5. Spread the tofu slices on the sheet pan in a single layer (try not to overlap too much).
  6. Bake for 10 minutes, then take the tray out and gently toss/flip the slices for even crisping.
  7. Return to the oven for another 4–6 minutes, until the edges are browned and the slices are crisp.
  8. Cool for a few minutes — they crisp up even more as they cool.

Notes

  • Slice as thin as you can — thicker slices stay chewier, thinner slices turn chip-like.
  • Don’t crowd the tray: overlapping pieces steam and won’t crisp properly.
  • Watch closely near the end — thin slices can go from perfect to too dark quickly.
  • They crisp up as they cool, so give them 3–5 minutes before judging the texture.
  • Great on salads, rice bowls, soups, or as a crunchy snack.
