Ingredients

  • 1 16-ounce package extra-firm water-packed tofu, drained

  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar

  • 3 tablespoons Bragg liquid aminos

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • Pinch of salt

Directions

  1. Pat tofu dry and cut into ½- to ¾-inch cubes. Gently pat dry again. Combine vinegar, liquid aminos and oil in a large bowl or large sealable plastic bag. Add the tofu; gently toss to combine. Marinate at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate for up to 4 hours, gently stirring once or twice.

  2. Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

  3. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the tofu to the prepared pan. (Discard marinade.) Spread it out, making sure the pieces aren't touching. Roast the tofu, gently stirring halfway through, until golden brown, 12 to 18 minutes.

  4. Drizzle the tofu with honey and sprinkle with salt; toss to coat.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
