Chewy tofu marinated in a tangy orange sauce and roasted.

Yield: 3-4 servings

Time: an hour

Tools

  • 9×12 baking dish
  • whisk
  • small bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 pound extra-firm tofu, cut into eight ½-inch slices and pressed
  • 3 T olive oil, divided
  • 1 T soy sauce
  • zest from one orange
  • ½ c orange juice
  • 2 T lime juice
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 t salt
  • 1 t dried oregano
  • ½ t cumin
  • pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 400.

Combine 2 T oil with soy sauce in the baking dish and mix well. Add the tofu in a single layer and press into the liquid, then flip and press again.

Bake for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk together the rest of the oil with the remaining ingredients.

Remove the tofu from the oven, carefully flip each piece, and pour the marinade over the top.
