Baked BBQ Breaded Tofu
Description
Baked BBQ tofu transforms three simple ingredients into a crispy, savory vegetarian treat you can enjoy in rice bowls, stir-fries, and wraps, or all on its own.
Ingredients
•
1 (14 ounce) package extra-firm tofu
•
1/3 cup barbeque sauce
•
1/4 cup dry seasoned bread crumbs
Directions
1
Place tofu block in an airtight container and put in the freezer until frozen, about 8 hours.
2
Transfer frozen tofu to the refrigerator to thaw, about 24 hours.
3
Place thawed tofu block onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5
Drain and discard any accumulated liquid from the tofu. Break tofu into 1-inch chunks and place in a large bowl. Add barbecue sauce and bread crumbs and toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
