Easy Tofu Bacon

Ingredients

• Tofu

  Extra firm, prepared with nigari

  12 oz or 340g

• Tomato paste

  Canned, without salt added

  2 tbsp or 32g

• Maple syrups

  2 tbsp or 40g

• Soy sauce

  Made from soy (tamari)

  8 tbsp or 144g

• Hickory Liquid Smoke

  Wright's

  3 tsp or 300g

• Water

  Plain, clean water

  1 cup or 237g

Directions

1. Drain and press the tofu for about an hour to remove excess moisture.
2. Slice the tofu as thinly as possible for optimal texture.
3. In a zip-top bag, combine tomato paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, liquid smoke, and water.
4. Add the tofu slices, remove as much air as possible, and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes or up to overnight. Alternatively, simmer the tofu in the marinade for 15-20 minutes over medium-low heat.
5. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Arrange the marinated tofu slices in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes. Flip the slices and bake for another 8-10 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy.
