Savory Baked Tofu

This healthy Savory Baked Tofu with Asian flavors works well in a sandwich, stir fry or salad.  

This Savory Baked Tofu is a great addition to a salad or sandwich. It’s cheaper than store-bought, is easy to make, and you can control the ingredients.

Many of the store-bought varieties contain wheat, so this is perfect for gluten intolerant people like me.

There’s not much to do besides the mix the marinade and slice the tofu. Everything else is hands-off.

Baked Marinated Tofu

Marinating and baking tofu is a great way to impart flavor. The tofu gets crispy on the outside while staying soft and chewy on the inside.

If you’re trying tofu for the first time, a marinated baked tofu recipe is a good place to start. Not to mention, it’s super easy.

I’ve create quite a few baked tofu recipes, including Baked BBQ Tofu, Maple Dijon Baked Tofu, Baked Tofu Fries, and Crispy Baked Tofu with Peanut Sauce.

Tips For Making Savory Baked Tofu

• Drain and press the tofu first. This helps get as much liquid out as possible.
• Marinate the tofu for at least an hour to soak up the flavors.
• Taste as you go and make adjustments, but keep in mind that the tofu won’t taste as strong as the marinade.
• All ovens are different. Check around the 35 minute mark for doneness. Bake until slightly crispy on the edges.
