This is a great recipe that the whole family will love (even your meat eaters). Serve it with brown rice and steamed veggies for a healthy vegan meal any night of the week. Start the marinating process the evening before you intend to cook it. I doubled this recipe in order to have leftovers for lunch. Simply reheat it with potatoes or rice. You can also serve it cold on a salad or as filling for a sandwich.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (12 ounce) packages extra-firm tofu
⅔ cup liquid aminos (such as Bragg®)
½ cup canola oil
⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons agave nectar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons ginger paste

Steps:

  • Combine liquid aminos, canola oil, lemon juice, agave nectar, garlic, thyme, ginger paste, and cayenne pepper in a food processor; blend until smooth. Pour over tofu slices.
  • Marinate tofu in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake tofu in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
