Vegan Recipe: Perfect Marinated and Baked Tofu

I am excited to share with you my recipe for baked tofu, originally posted on Rooted Vegan. A good marinated tofu is so versatile. You can put it into sandwiches, wraps, eat it solo, toss it with salad...whatever floats your boat. It is cheap, filling and soooooooooooo good.



1 block of extra firm tofu, pressed and sliced into 1/4-1/4 inch slices
1/4 c tamari
1/4 c water
1tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp liquid smoke
3T pure maple syrup

1. Whisk tamari, water, garlic powder, liquid smoke and syrup together.
2. Put the sliced tofu into a dish and cover evenly with the mixture. Marinate for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight.
3. Preheat oven to 325. Place the sliced tofu on a lightly oiled cookie sheet. Brush with leftover marinade. Bake for 25 minutes.
4. Flip the tofu and brush with the remaining marinade. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden.
