Ingredients
- 1 brick extra firm tofu, pressed (12oz or 350g)
- 1 tsp olive oil
Maple Glaze Sauce
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp BBQ sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Optional
- fresh thyme or parsley to serve
Instructions
- For the marinade, add maple syrup, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, garlic and paprika powder into a bowl and whisk to combine.
- Cut tofu into 6 equal slices. Next, cut cross hatch patterns into each tofu slice. Be careful not to cut too far into the tofu, or it will fall apart.
- If you have time, use half the prepared sauce and marinate the tofu. If not, no problem, the tofu can be cooked right away.
- Add the oil to a pan on medium heat, and cook tofu for 3-4 minutes per side.
- Next, start adding the marinade using a brush, being sure to get the sauce into all the cross hatch patterns. Leave about 1/4 of the sauce for later. Cook for another minute or two per side until the tofu is browned and caramelized from the maple syrup.
- Remove tofu from the pan, and brush with the remaining maple glaze. Serve with fresh herbs, and enjoy!
