Ginger Baked Tofu Recipe

Ginger Baked Tofu Recipe

  • 2 (12 ounce) packages extra-firm tofu
  • 2/3 cup liquid aminos (such as Bragg®)
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons agave nectar
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons ginger paste
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  1. Place tofu between a few layers of paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Place a heavy plate on top; add a few books to the plate to press the tofu and drain excess liquid, 20 to 30 minutes.
  2. Unwrap tofu and slice into 2-inch slices that are 1/4-inch thick. Arrange slices in a large, shallow baking dish.
  3. Combine liquid aminos, canola oil, lemon juice, agave nectar, garlic, thyme, ginger paste, and cayenne pepper in a food processor; blend until smooth. Pour over tofu slices.
  4. Marinate tofu in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
  5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  6. Bake tofu in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
