How to Make Lemony Baked Tofu
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Carefully cut the block of tofu horizontally into four even slices.
- Select your preferred marinade (see below) and whisk all ingredients together until completely smooth.
- Pour half of the marinade into a small, oven-safe, non-reactive baking dish (an 8" square or 7x9" dish works perfectly).
- Arrange the tofu slices in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are in a single layer.
- Pour the remaining marinade evenly over the tofu slices.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, flipping the tofu slices halfway through (around 30 minutes), to ensure even browning and crisping.
- The tofu is ready when it's beautifully browned, bubbling slightly, and the edges are curling upwards.
- Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and use a metal spatula to transfer the tofu slices to a serving platter.
- Serve immediately while hot, or enjoy warm, at room temperature, or even chilled. Leftovers are great!
- Store leftover tofu in an airtight container or plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
