Apricot Balsamic Glazed Tofu

Recipe By: Susan V

Ingredients:

• 1 block (14 oz) extra firm tofu, pressed and drained
• 1/4 cup Apricot Balsamic
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut the pressed tofu into cubes or slices and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the Apricot Balsamic, soy sauce or tamari, maple syrup, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and pepper.
4. Pour the balsamic mixture over the tofu, making sure each piece is coated evenly.
5. Let the tofu marinate for at least 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
6. Bake the tofu in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tofu is golden brown and caramelized.
7. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
8. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.

Notes:

• Serve the Apricot Balsamic Glazed Tofu as a delicious main dish or add to salads or grain bowls.
