My top reason for making baked tofu recipes is that it is a simple hands-off method of cooking.  All you have to do is pop it in the oven, move it around once or twice and it cooks on its own leaving you time to do other things. Also, baking tofu is a healthy method of cooking tofu.  It doesn’t require using much fat but still tastes great. Baking tofu dries it out a bit giving it a firmer texture may make tofu more agreeable.
