Directions

Step 1 

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut tofu in half, and cut each half into 4 pieces. You should have 8 rectangles. Cut each rectangle in half diagonally to make 16 triangles. Place in the baking dish in 1 layer.

Step 2 

In a cup or mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, garlic, and ginger. Mix to combine. Pour this over the tofu. Add water until it reaches half to ¾ up the sides of the tofu. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 3 

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until almost all of the liquid has evaporated. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Step 4 

This baked tofu goes great served with rice and broccoli, or you can use it as a healthy vegetarian protein in any dish.

Tips & Variations

  • This recipe works best in a small pan. If you do not have a 9x9 inch baking dish, you can use an 8x8 inch, or a 9-inch pie plate. It will not work as well if you use a larger 9x13 inch dish.

  • To make this recipe gluten free, use gluten free soy sauce or Tamari
