Sesame Maple Roasted Tofu Stir-Fry

Dani found this tofu recipe for me at the local coop in Goleta. I have never baked tofu before so I was excited to see how it turned out.

Here's what you'll need:
1 16 oz package extra firm tofu cut into one inch cubes
1 Tbs tahini
1 Tbs soy sauce or Braggs liquid aminos
2 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp cider vinegar
1 medium red onion
2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
1 Tbs sesame seed

What to do:
1. Pat the tofu dry with paper towels, whisk tahini, soy sauce, maple syrup and vinegar until combined. Marinate the tofu for a while in this mixture
2. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees
3. Toss the marinated tofu, onion, olive oil, sesame oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl
4. Spread the tofu mixture on a large baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is golden brown on the outside.
5. All done!

I ate it on top of brown rice and chard, but you could have it with quinoa, tossed in an asian pasta, or even on a sandwich!!



Love, Bianca
