Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly spray a non-stick baking sheet with oil.

Step 2

Slice tofu into 1/2-inch slices, and gently press excess water out of tofu. Cut sliced tofu into 1/2-inch cubes.

Step 3

In a bowl, stir together the soy sauce, maple syrup, ketchup, vinegar, and hot sauce. Stir in sesame seeds, garlic powder, black pepper, and liquid smoke. Gently stir tofu cubes into sauce. Cover, and marinate at least 5 minutes.
