Baked Tofu

Recipe View Assemble all your ingredients. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, agave nectar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced fresh ginger until well combined. This creates a flavorful marinade for the tofu. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Gently press the tofu slices between paper towels to remove excess water. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy texture during baking. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Arrange the tofu slices on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Brush half of the soy sauce mixture evenly over the tops of the tofu. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Bake the tofu in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. This initial baking period allows the tofu to firm up and absorb the flavors of the marinade. (30 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Flip the tofu slices and brush with the remaining soy sauce mixture. Sprinkle sesame seeds generously over the top for added flavor and visual appeal. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Return the tofu to the oven and continue baking until it is crisp and golden brown, about 30 more minutes. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning. (30 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the baked tofu from the oven and carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool slightly. This helps maintain its crispy texture. (5 minutes)
