Tofu can be intimidating, but with a good-quality tofu press and a thoughtful recipe, it's easy to prepare. Roasting is a hands-off method, requiring only pressing, seasoning, and baking with extra-firm or super-firm tofu to prevent crumbling. Chef Ayomari emphasizes the importance of tofu variety for roasting; medium or silken tofu may break apart easily, so it's essential to choose the right consistency for the best results.
"You should always use extra-firm or super-firm tofu for roasting. These blocks have a tougher consistency that does not break apart as easily and can withstand the heat of your oven."
"If you were to use a medium or silken tofu for roasting, it would probably break apart before you even got it onto the baking tray."
