Best Rosemary Lemon Baked Tofu Recipes
ASIAN STYLE SAVORY BAKED TOFU
This was absolutely delicious! It will make a tofu lover out of you yet (I hope!). I let my tofu sit overnight in the marinade, and then baked it, and I thought it turned out great. As I describe below, be sure to really "press" the excess liquid out of your tofu to ensure that it absorbs the marinade. Don't be afraid to put something really heavy on it to draw out the moisture. Cast iron pan works great! Source: Sunday Moosewood cookbook

Steps:
- For best results, tofu should be "pressed" in order to remove excess liquid and absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- Press tofu block between two plates, weighted down with a cast iron pan, large bowl of water, or heavy cans, for about 30 minutes.
- Halfway through, you may dump the plate of water and flip the tofu block.
- To make marinade, simply whisk together the ingredients in a bowl.
- After tofu is pressed, cut the block into small cubes or triangles.
- Place pieces of tofu into baking dish, and cover with the marinade.
- The tofu can sit overnight in the marinade, or can be prepared right away.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Bake tofu about 35-45 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.
- Tofu can be eaten by itself, or added to stir-frys, salads, soups or sandwiches.

ROSEMARY-LEMON BAKED TOFU
Baking tofu is a wonderful way for it to soak up all the delicious flavor in your marinade. In this recipe, the tofu has a bright, lemony flavor. If you have the time, let the tofu sit for an hour or so in the marinade before baking. However, if you are short on time, this step is not necessary. For those new to tofu, the block of tofu should be pressed between two plates, to remove any excess moisture from its packaging. Use a cast iron pan or heavy book. Baked tofu tastes even better the next day!

LEMONY BAKED TOFU
Yummy as a snack, sandwich filling, or topping for salads! It's got lots of flavor and holds it's shape well. A choice is given for two very different but equally inviting marinades. Be sure not to use an aluminum baking pan! Use the smallest baking pan you have that will hold the tofu in a single layer. An 8" square pan and a 7x9" pan both work fine.
