Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup each:
- maple syrup
- liquid aminos
- water
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 14 oz block block extra firm tofu, cut into large squares
Instructions
- Whisk together all of the marinade ingredients.
- Slice the tofu into 1/2 inch thick squares and submerge them in the marinade. Cover and let marinade overnight in the fridge.
- The next day, preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place the tofu on the baking tray, with a little space in between them so they aren't touching. Reserve the marinade. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- While the tofu is baking, take the reserved marinade and heat it in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until reduced by two thirds. The marinade will be thick and syrupy.
- Once the tofu has baked for 30 minutes, baste the top and sides of the tofu with the reduced sauce. Flip the tofu and baste the other side. Return the tofu to the oven and bake for another hour, basting and flipping the tofu every thirty minutes. Serve.
Notes
To cut the tofu: Cut your tofu into large squares by slicing it first hot-dog style (vertically) and then hamburger style (horizontally) into 1/2 inch thick slices. See the video for a visual.
