Instructions
Coat the Tofu
Toss cubed tofu with cornstarch and Italian seasoning until each piece is lightly coated. This coating is the key to achieving a crispy exterior quickly in the pan.
Pan-Fry the Tofu
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu in a single layer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side without moving until golden and crispy on both sides.
Add Garlic and Parmesan
Add minced garlic to the pan and toss with tofu, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant. Sprinkle grated parmesan over the top and toss gently to coat all pieces evenly.
Serve Hot
Remove from heat and serve immediately over pasta, salad, or grain bowls. The tofu is best enjoyed right away while it retains its crispiness.
