Ingredients
- ounce package extra firm tofu
- ounce tomato paste
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup 100% pure maple syrup
- tablespoons tamari (or Bragg's liquid aminos or low-sodium soy sauce)
- tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- tablespoons stone ground mustard
- tablespoon minced ginger
- clove garlic
- ½ teaspoon ground chipotle powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika (or smoked paprika)
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- teaspoon onion powder
- teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Rinse and drain tofu, pressing out as much water as possible with paper towels. Slice it into small rectangles (approximately 24 pieces) and set aside.
- In a blender, combine the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
- Pour half of the BBQ sauce onto the bottom of an 8x10x2.5-inch baking pan. Gently place the tofu pieces over the sauce evenly across the pan. Pour remaining sauce over tofu and distribute it evenly over all the pieces.
- Place in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Then take the pan out, flip the tofu rectangles over and bake for 15 more minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve with celery sticks and oil-free, dairy-free ranch dressing. You can use this BBQ sauce in other recipes or over baked potatoes, rice, or quinoa.
