Ingredients

For the Tofu Chips

  • 7 ounces firm or extra-firm tofu
  • ¾ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons flour or cornstarch or a mix of both
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne or paprika
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon oil

To Add Later

  • 1 teaspoon spice blend of choice such as Cajun, chaat masala, garam masala
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163° C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use 2 smaller sheets if your oven doesn’t have convection.
  • Add the tofu, water, and the rest of the tofu chips ingredients to a blender and blend for about one minute. Check the consistency, and add 1 tablespoon of water if needed. The mixture should be thick and creamy but still spreadable. Blend again for 1 minute.
  • Pour the tofu cream mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it as thin and evenly as possible. The layer should be thin enough to bake evenly without taking too long. Use a light hand to spread the mixture all over the parchment paper.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (149° C). Turn on convection, if you have it, and continue baking for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the center is no longer soft and the sheet has crisped up. If the edges are browning too quickly, reduce to 285°F (140° C). If the center is still soft, continue baking for an additional 10 minutes. Or, you can turn off the oven and let it sit in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes to crisp up nicely.
  • Once the whole sheet is crisped up, remove from the oven and break the sheet up into chips. Sprinkle additional spices over the tofu chips, if desired. Let cool, then store in a container or bowl for quick snacking.

Notes

You can sprinkle on sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning, or nacho seasoning can be added before baking. Sprinkle some ground spice after baking as well for extra flavor. Try your fave potato chip flavor profiles! 
 
Baking time will vary depending on your oven and how thin/thick you spread the tofu.
