• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

14-16 ounces extra or super-firm tofu* (pressed)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons low sodium tamari or soy sauce

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions

Cube the Tofu: Cut the tofu into 1/2" cubes and transfer to a large resealable bag or container. Set aside.

Make the Marinade: Whisk the olive oil, tamari, vinegar, maple syrup, liquid smoke, garlic powder, and smoked paprika together until evenly combined.

Marinate: Pour the marinade over the tofu and gently shake the bag to cover all tofu cubes. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight. The tofu can be enjoyed as-is, or proceed to the next step to bake it!

Bake: Preheat the oven to 415F. Drain the tofu and transfer it to a baking sheet, leaving space between each tofu cube; discard the marinade. Bake in the top rack of the ove for 15 minutes, then flip the tofu and bake for another 15 minutes.

Serve & Store: Serve immediately, as desired. Both the cooked & uncooked versions of the tofu can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
