Ingredients

  • 1 lb extra firm tofu
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari or coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1.5 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes optional

Instructions

  • Open and drain tofu. Press tofu on a tofu press or wrap in a clean tea towel and place until a heavy object. Press the extra moisture out for 10 minutes.
  • Cut tofu into 1/4inch thick rectangles and lay on a large flat surface with a lip, like a 9x13 baking pan. Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil, ginger, garlic and chili flakes.
  • Pour half marinade over tofu. Flip and pour on other half. Let the tofu sit in marinade for 30 minutes to soak up as much marinade as possible.
  • Preheat oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove tofu from marinade and arrange on the baking sheet with space between each piece.
  • Bake at 425F for 25 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and enjoy!

Notes

  • Serve warm or chilled
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week
  • If you have excess marinade, toss veggies in the marinade and bake on the sheet pan with the tofu
