Baked Tofu for Salads Sandwiches



This recipe for baked tofu is ideal for incorporating a high-protein ingredient into your sandwiches and salads. The tofu is enhanced in flavor by the marinade, which makes it a flexible ingredient in a variety of recipes.

Ingredients:

  • 1 block tofu, extra firm
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 400F 200C

Press the tofu to remove excess water by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing something heavy on top for about 15-20 minutes

Slice the tofu into thin rectangles or cubes, depending on your preference

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, maple syrup, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper

Arrange tofu slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Brush the tofu slices evenly with the marinade mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tofu is golden brown and slightly crispy

Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before using in salads or sandwiches
