This flavor-packed baked tofu is soaked in a marinade of zesty lemon juice, zippy garlic, and savory herbs, then baked to perfection. It's perfect stuffed in a sandwich or sprinkled on salad!
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon rubbed sage
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (14 ounce or 400 gram) package extra firm tofu, drained and pressed for at least 30 minutes
-
Stir the soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, sage, and pepper together in a small bowl.
-
Cut the tofu into cubes, slabs, or whatever shape you like, and place the pieces into a bowl or shallow dish.
-
Spoon the marinade over the tofu and allow it to marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature, turning the pieces halfway through.

Preheat the oven to 400°.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the tofu pieces in a single layer on top. Reserving any excess marinade.

Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the tofu pieces and spoon any reserved marinade over them. Bake for another 15-20 minutes, until the marinade has dried up and the tofu pieces have shrunken a bit and taken on a chewy texture.
