Trying not to eat as much meat, I’ve tried tofu tons of different ways but this one is my favorite (a) because you don’t have to “press the tofu” first, and (b) because it actually tastes good (to me at least, husband still won’t touch tofu).

Recipe makes (6) 3 oz servings which I’ll typically eat one serving as a protein topping to a big salad, put into a taco, or enjoy with a lentil or bean dish.

I’ve been using sprouted extra form tofu from Trader Joe’s. I often cut the recipe in half and just use half the block at a time.

Steps

1

Combine all ingredients in bowl and whisk or fork together
2

Drain the water from tofu package, and break into chunks. They won’t be perfect and that’s ok. For chunk size, think of a little chicken tender size. Coat sauce evenly on tofu by tossing (toss via shaking or use hands- using a utensil sometimes breaks them up too much)
3

Spread the tofu evenly across the baking sheets and bake about at 375 degrees for 30 minutes, or until golden/crispy. Serve hot or store in an air-tight container in the fridge, or freeze to use later. Use as main, as nuggets, on salads, in sandwiches, in tacos, on pasta etc.
