Ingredients
- 1 block firm or extra-firm tofu 14-16 ounces (400-450 g)
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil optional, but recommended
Instructions
- Press the tofu: Press the tofu (just wrap the tofu in a clean towel and apply a steady weight to squeeze out moisture). This step is optional but highly recommended.
- Prepare the marinade: Mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl.
- Cut the tofu: Cut into ¼ to ½ inch thick slices (about 0.5 to 1 cm). You can also cut the tofu into cubes or any shape you prefer. Then, place the tofu slices in a baking dish.
- Marinate the tofu: Pour the marinade over the tofu and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or overnight in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC) and transfer the tofu slices to a lined baking sheet.
- Bake the tofu: Bake the tofu for about 30 minutes, turning the pieces halfway through, or until they're slightly darkened.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
- Freeze any extra tofu in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to a month.
- Reheat from the fridge by placing it in the oven at 350ºF (180ºC) for 10-15 minutes or in a skillet with a little oil until hot.
- To reheat from frozen, thaw in the fridge overnight and then cook as mentioned above, or bake directly from frozen at 350ºF (180ºC) for 20-25 minutes.
