Ok,I realize this is not the normal way to share cooking stuff- click on each photo for the next steps…
For the marinade I use a drizzle/ sprinkle of:
sweet: honey, maple syrup, mirim, brown sugar
Spicy: chili powder, paprika, pepper
Salty: soy sauce, teriyaki sauce
You choose your flavours and have fun.
Using the same container the tofu came in works for me, and I let it sit for about 10 -15 minutes after slicing it and adding the marinade.
You can slice more thinly and let it cook a bit more to get a crispy bacon type of tofu- just watch it doesn’t burn.
400 g extra firm tofu, frozen and defrosted, then drained
Use a straight edge to slice it into 3 mm strips
Leave in the container it came in to add the marinade: sweet, salty, spicy of your choice.
Oven pre heated to 425F ( sorry)
Lay out strips on parchment lined baking sheet, drizzle on any remaining marinade
Bake for 15 minutes
First side starting to brown
Bake another 14-15 minutes
Final look- dark golden ( the darker pieces are thinner cuts- still practicing the slicing)
Cool on rack and divide up- I usually use 4-5 strips per sandwich
Make some fresh pita bread
Roll it up with your choice of sandwich fixings and toast
