Directions

  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.

Recipe Note

This is a great recipe that the whole family will love (even your meat eaters). Serve it with brown rice and steamed veggies for a healthy vegan meal any night of the week. Start the marinating process the evening before you intend to cook it. I doubled this recipe in order to have leftovers for lunch. Simply reheat it with potatoes or rice. You can also serve it cold on a salad or as filling for a sandwich.
