Description

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400F
• If you are using extra firm tofu then be sure to press first (see notes). Once pressed, slice the tofu into 1/4 inch thin strips. Spray a large shallow baking dish, or a baking tray with non-stick spray ()I use fractionated coconut spray. Lie the tofu strips flat in the dish
• Combine the maple syrup, tamari, lemongrass, ginger, garlic and avocado oil in a glass jar, pop on the lid and shake well to combine. Pour the marinade over the tofu strips, and allow to sit for 15 minutes
• Pop the tofu in the oven for 20 mins, take out and flip, and bake for 15 mins. The strips should be golden
• Serve warm or can be chilled and served cold
