Baked Tofu

Ingredients

• 16 ounces firm or extra firm tofu (fresh or frozen and thawed)

Soy-honey marinade:

• 2 Tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 Tablespoons vinegar (cider, rice or balsamic)
• 1 Tablespoon honey or brown sugar
• 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil (try sesame oil)

Soy-lime marinade:

• 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/3 cup lime juice
• 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil (try sesame oil)

Directions

1. Wash hands with soap and water.
2. With a cloth or paper towel, press water out of the tofu and cut how you choose: triangles, cubes, slices or sticks.
3. Mix marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add tofu and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 350 °F.
5. Drain tofu and place pieces on a baking sheet. Foil on the baking sheet makes clean-up easy.
6. Bake until the tofu is firm and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Turn pieces once during baking.
7. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.

Notes:

• Try Baked Tofu instead of meat in tacos, stir-fries or skillet meals.
