How to Make Baked Marinated Tofu
- Freeze the block of tofu (unopened) for at least 24 hours, and up to 1 week.
- Transfer the frozen tofu to the refrigerator and thaw completely (approximately 24 hours).
- Once thawed, remove the tofu from its packaging and press out excess water using paper towels. Gently press to remove as much liquid as possible.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes.
- In a 9x13 inch baking dish, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add the tofu cubes to the marinade and gently toss to coat evenly.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, turning the tofu cubes 3-4 times for even browning and to ensure the marinade is absorbed or evaporated. Tofu is ready when golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately or cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Great in salads, grain bowls, or as a standalone dish!
