  • 1 tsp. liquid smoke

For the Hoisin Barbecue Sauce

  • ¼ cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp. tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. soy sauce

Instructions
Make the Smoky Baked Tofu
  1. Slice tofu into squares with about 1 inch sides, about ¼ to ½ inch thick.
  2. Stir soy sauce, vinegar, maple syrup or agave, and liquid smoke together in a shallow dish. Place tofu in dish and spoon mixture overtop to coat. Optionally, allow to marinate at room temperature for up to one hour (I skipped this step, so feel free to do so as well).
  3. Preheat oven to 400º. Line a baking sheet with parchmet and arrange tofu squares in a single layer on top. Bake abot 40 minutes, gently flipping and basting with any excess marinade about halfway through.
Prepare the Baked Pineapple
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment and arrange pineapple chunks on top in a single layer. Bake until tender (oven should already be set to 400º), about 20 minutes. Optionally, brush with a bit of barbecue sauce, which should already be simmering on the stove (see next step), during the last.
Prepare the Hoisin Barbecue Sauce
  1. While tofu and pineapple bake, place all ingredients in small saucepan. Stir a few times to blend and bring to a simmer. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes.
Prepare the Naan Pizzas
  1. Optionally, place naan loaves into 400º and bake just until hot, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from oven and spread with hoisin barbecue sauce. Top with baked tofu, pineapple chunks, scallions and cilantro.
  2. Slice and serve.
Recipe Notes

Trader Joe's carries vegan naan, though the loaves are a smaller than normal, so I'd suggest using three loaves instead of two. Also check out Indian markets for vegan naan, or make your own - it's easier than you think!.
If can't find vegan naan or prefer to, you can go with a conventional pizza crust. Double the recipes for the toppings and sauce to make 1 large pizza.
