Smoky Marinated Tofu
Ingredients
- 1 package extra firm tofu
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce or coconut liquid aminos
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 2 Tbsp sriracha
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp liquid smoke
- 1-2 cups vegetable broth
Instructions
- Drain the package of tofu. Then wrap tofu in a towel and press between two plates with a weight on top (I have used a cast iron skillet, or cans of beans in the past). Press tofu for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Unwrap tofu and slice into quarter inch slices.
- In a glass storage container, large enough to store tofu and marinade, mix together the ingredients of the marinade (excluding the vegetable broth). Add in tofu, turning to coat it. Now, pour in vegetable broth until the tofu is submerged. Seal the container, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Place strips of tofu on a lined baking sheet, reserving the marinade, and roast for 20 minutes. Turn the tofu slices over and sprinkle additional marinade on this side. Return to the oven for an additional 20 minutes.
