Sweet Orange Ginger Baked Tofu

Sweet Orange Ginger Baked TofuIf you have a sweet tooth and want to add a little flavor to your tofu this recipe is for you. It is a healthy, sweet blend of orange, syrup, ginger and more. I like to serve it with a side salad of baby spinach, tomato, avacado and cucumber.

Ingredients:
1 pound extra firm tofu, drained and pressed

Marinade
2 tablespoons grated ginger (or 1 tablespoon dried ginger)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons canola oil

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine all ingredient for the marinade in a small bowl and mix well. Cut the tofu into 8 slices. Pour 1/2 marinade into the baking dish and dredge tofu slices. Pour the other half of marinade over the tofu. Let sit 10 minutes.
2. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from over and flip pieces over. Cook 15 more minutes uncovered. To give the tofu more chewiness, place in the broiler for 2 minutes on each side.
Servings: 4
