Sticky Baked Harissa Tofu (Vegan)

oz Firm tofu

Maple syrup

⅛ tsp Ginger powder

Tbsp Fresh mint leaves (chopped)

Lime juice

½ tsp Tapioca starch

Use a firm tofu and press it. 

Preparing the ingredients

Take a glass bowl and mix all ingredients (harissa paste, soy sauce or tamari, maple syrup, ginger powder, lime juice, and freshly chopped mint leaves). Mix it with a spoon or spatula.

Making the marinade

After you pressed the tofu, cut them in half horizontally. Then cut them in half again and then diagonally to form triangles.

If possible, take a glass bowl and layer the tofu slices in one layer.

Pour the marinade over the tofu triangles and gently mix them. We use a silicone brush or a spoon to cover it thoroughly.

Let the tofu marinate for 15 minutes.

Marinating the tofu

When the time is up, use a slotted turner to take the marinated tofu slices out.

Pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepan and add tapioca starch.

Cook it over medium heat on a stovetop until it is reduced to a thick sauce. It has to be syrupy and thick.

Reduce the marinade

Preheat the oven to 390 Fahrenheit (ca. 199 °C).

Place the marinated tofu slices on a non-stick baking sheet/mat or parchment paper in a baking tray.

Bake them in the oven for 15 minutes.

Take it out and spread the reduced marinade, aka the glaze, generously over both sides using a silicone brush or spoon. Flip and brush the other side as well.

Bake them in the oven for another 15 minutes. Before serving, brush it again with the remaining glaze to get them sticky like in the photos.

Sweet and Spicy Harissa Tofu

block super firm tofu (see note

corn starch

olive oil

salt

black pepper (to taste)

harissa paste

honey (sub agave syrup

coconut aminos (sub tamari

vegetable broth

sesame seeds and sliced green onions (for serving; optional)

Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up. Using clean hands, tear the tofu into 12-14 bite sized pieces.

Add tofu pieces to a medium bowl. Toss with corn starch, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Transfer to the baking sheet, careful not to overlap the tofu. Bake on the middle oven rack at 425F for 25 minutes, tossing halfway through.

Meanwhile, make the harissa-honey sauce by whisking together harissa, honey, coconut aminos, and vegetable broth in a small bowl.

Once the tofu is crisp and golden, remove it from the oven. Add to a bowl with just half of the harissa sauce, tossing to combine.

Return to the oven and bake at 425F for 5 more minutes. This allows the tofu to absorb some of the sauce.

Remove from the oven and toss the baked tofu with the remaining reserved spicy harissa sauce. Serve topped with sesame seeds and green onions. Enjoy!
