Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. To do this, wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and place a heavy object (like a skillet) on top. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
2. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- While the tofu is pressing, mince the garlic cloves.
- In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, tomato paste, mustard, maple syrup, soy sauce, water, and black pepper. Mix well until it forms a smooth marinade.
- Once the tofu is pressed, slice it into steaks about 1/2 inch thick.
- Coat each tofu steak with the marinade, making sure both sides are well covered. Let it sit for an additional 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- In a shallow dish, pour the bread crumbs.
- Take each marinated tofu steak and coat it in the bread crumbs. Press gently to ensure the crumbs stick well to the tofu on all sides.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, place the breaded tofu steaks in the skillet. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- You may need to do this in batches; add more olive oil as needed.
- Once the tofu steaks are seared, transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- After transferring, brush each tofu steak with the BBQ sauce.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tofu is heated through and the coating is extra crispy.
- Remove the tofu steaks from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy your crispy breaded tofu steaks with your favorite side dishes!
Tips:
- Press the tofu block for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture. This helps the tofu absorb the marinade better and become crispier.
- Use panko bread crumbs for extra crunch in the coating.
- You can add your favorite herbs and spices to the bread crumbs for additional flavor.
- Bake the tofu steaks on a wire rack for even crispiness on all sides.
- Serve with a side of vegetables or a salad for a balanced meal.
