Baked Barbecue Tofu
Description
This recipe uses extra-firm tofu pressed to eliminate moisture for better texture and absorption of barbecue sauce. The tofu is cut into quarters of half-inch thick slices and marinated in a generous coating of barbecue sauce for at least an hour, allowing the flavors to infuse. Baking on a greased sheet at 400°F browns the edges and caramelizes the sauce, turning the pieces slightly crisp on the outside while remaining tender inside. Applying additional sauce halfway through baking intensifies the coating.
The resulting tofu combines a sweet and smoky barbecue flavor with a pleasantly firm yet yielding bite, making it suitable for serving as a main dish, in sandwiches, or alongside sides. The simple ingredients and straightforward steps make it accessible for home cooks seeking a flavorful grilled-style tofu preparation.
Ingredients
- 14 oz extra-firm tofu
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
- olive oil mister or cooking spray
Instructions
- Press the tofu for 30 minutes. Cut into ½-inch thick slices, then quarter each slice.
- Pour barbecue sauce into an 8-inch square baking dish. Place tofu in dish and gently toss to coat. Let tofu marinate in sauce for 1 hour (or more), turning occasionally.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with oil or cooking spray. Place tofu on baking sheet (do not discard barbecue sauce!) and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, turn tofu over and brush with additional barbecue sauce. Bake 20 minutes more or until tofu is browned on edges. Toss tofu in remaining barbecue sauce and serve.
