Ingredients
- 16 ounces firm or extra firm tofu (fresh or frozen and thawed)
Soy-honey marinade:
- 2 Tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons vinegar (cider, rice or balsamic)
- 1 Tablespoon honey or brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil (try sesame oil)
Soy-lime marinade:
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup lime juice
- 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil (try sesame oil)
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- With a cloth or paper towel, press water out of the tofu and cut how you choose: triangles, cubes, slices or sticks.
- Mix marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add tofu and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 °F.
- Drain tofu and place pieces on a baking sheet. Foil on the baking sheet makes clean-up easy.

- Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Notes:
- Try Baked Tofu instead of meat in tacos, stir-fries or skillet meals.
