Easy Weeknight Baked Tofu



Ingredients
  • 1 pound firm tofu
  • ¾ cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, or 2 tablespoons mirin wine*
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes or several shakes Original Tabasco Brand Hot Sauce (optional)
Instructions
  1. Drain the tofu and cut into even slices, about 1″ thick. Press the tofu to get out as much moisture as possible. It’s really important to get as much water out of the tofu as you can. Let sit for at least 10 minutes, longer if possible.
  2. While the tofu is pressing, combine the other ingredients in a bowl. Line a large baking dish with aluminum foil (for easier cleanup). Place the tofu slices in a single layer in the dish, and then pour marinade evenly over the tofu.
  3. Bake uncovered at 450°F for about 45 minutes, or until the marinade is nearly evaporated. (If you need to bake something else at a lower temperature at the same time, baking the tofu at 350°F will work fine, too.)
