Step 1

Preheat oven to 400F

Step 2

Cut into desired shapes (strips, cubes, squares).

Step 3

Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Step 4

Pick a marinade.

Step 5

blend ingredients (except sesame seeds) together in a blender until smooth, pour over tofu, coating all sides well. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.  Bake 40-50 minutes, and for extra crispy broil for a few minutes.

Step 6

Sprinkle tofu with salt and pepper. Mix bbq sauce and 1-2 teaspoons sriracha together in a small bowl. Taste, adjust heat. If you like crispy tofu, stir in a couple of teaspoons of olive oil. Liberally coat the top and sides of the tofu with the bbq sauce. Bake 25-35 minutes, perhaps longer if heavily coated.

Step 7

Stir all ingredients together in a small bowl then brush the marinade on the tofu. Place the coated tofu in the 400F oven and check after 25 minutes, baking longer for extra crispy.
