Directions:Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the tofu from sticking.
To prepare the tofu: Drain the tofu and use your palms to gently squeeze out some of the water. Place between 2 heavy plates and let it keep draining for 15-30 minutes, draining off water as it gets pressed out. The more water you get out, the less time it will take to bake.
Slice the tofu into 1/2 inch slices. Brush with oil and sprinkle seasoning mix on both sides (or brush on tamari sauce).
Arrange the tofu in an even layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, turning the tofu halfway, until the tofu is deeply golden on the edges and has shrunk in size (and has a meaty texture). Use as desired. Brush on BBQ sauce at end and cook 5 minutes longer.
We serve it with sautéed green beans and potato salad. |

Notes: Tofu gets a bad rap, but it's a blank canvas for whatever your palate is craving! It's all about draining, seasoning, and cooking it to desired texture. Get creative! You can really use many different sauces. Tofu will usually shrink by almost half, so slice or cube according to what size you need.
I make several blocks at a time and then sauce the day I need it. So one day may be BBQ slices, another day cut smaller and tossed in a stirfy, etc.
You can also coat and fry these and make faux chicken nuggets!
For crispier texture, coat with light dusting of corn starch right before baking.
