Baked Tofu with Seasoned Marinade
This classic tofu dish was the highlight of my vegetarian Christmas dinner! The full day of marinating plus the hour baking in the oven made this tofu packed with flavor, and deliciously crisped on the edges. Super simple marinade, and goes great with my mushroom gravy recipe—link included below!
Ingredients:
2 block of extra firm tofu [this easily served 4 people and there were leftovers]
3 tablespoons of olive oil
5 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of crushed garlic
1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon of black pepper
