Directions

Prep 70 minCook 20 min
  1. 1

    Drain and press the tofu for about an hour to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Slice the tofu as thinly as possible for optimal texture.

  3. 3

    In a zip-top bag, combine tomato paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, liquid smoke, and water.

  4. 4

    Add the tofu slices, remove as much air as possible, and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes or up to overnight. Alternatively, simmer the tofu in the marinade for 15-20 minutes over medium-low heat.

  5. 5

    Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  6. 6

    Arrange the marinated tofu slices in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes. Flip the slices and bake for another 8-10 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately and enjoy.
