Steps:
- Lay tofu cubes onto several layers of paper towel; top with more paper towel. Place something heavy onto the tofu to squeeze excess water from the tofu; let sit until the tofu is drained, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Toast sesame seeds in hot skillet until fragrant, about 5 minutes.

- Spread marinated tofu onto the prepared baking sheet.

ITALIAN TOFU MEATBALLS
They're the same as Italian meatballs but with tofu. I had to go through many recipes and cobble pieces together to get something that tasted normal. Olive oil helps them crisp up in the oven. I ate these with basic marinara and they were delicious.
