Vegetarian Tofu Recipes: Basic Baked Tofu

Versatile baked tofu recipe to use in endless vegetarian ways

This tofu recipe was inspired by one that I found on Persistent Vegetarian State, also an excellent source of vegetarian recipes.

Baked Tofu Ingredients

  • 1 lb firm tofu, sliced in eight even slabs
  • Marinade:
  • 1 Tblsp rice vinegar
  • 1 Tblsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 Tblsp Tamari soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger or 1 tsp minced fresh
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp coriander
  • pinch cayenne
  • Optional:
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder or minced fresh garlic
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • chopped scallions

Marinating and Baking the Tofu:

  1. Make the marinade by shaking in a jar (put the lid on first!)
  2. Arrange the tofu slices in a flat baking pan
  3. Spread the marinade over and under the tofu slices
  4. Cover and marinate 1 hour or more in the fridge, turning once or twice if possible
  5. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
  6. Bake 30 minutes in the marinade, uncovered
  7. Turn over halfway through the baking
  8. Less baking time, if it looks very done halfway thruough
  9. Broil for a few minutes if the tofu isn't golden on both sides

What To Do With Your Baked Tofu

  • Serve with rice or quinoa and steamed veggies
  • Add to a salad for a meal in a bowl
