  • ¾ teaspoon cumin
  • ¾ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¾ teaspoon all-purpose seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice

  • Use your hands to crumble in the tofu, making some larger and some smaller crumbs.
  • Mix together well so that the tofu is evenly coated in the seasoning, I find it easier to use my hands.
  • Spread the tofu out in a single layer in the roasting tin.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes until browned and crisp. Stir it a couple of times during baking so that it browns evenly on all sides. The smaller crumbs will be darker than the larger ones, this is normal. Serve hot or cold.
