BBQ Flavored Tofu

Unfortunately I don't have a pic of these but I made bbq flavored tofu tonight for my husband. He will be putting them in sandwiches and making himself a bbq sandwich. :)

This is WAYYYYY too easy to make.

Ingredients:

Extra Firm Tofu(drained)
BBQ Sauce

Instructions:


Preheat oven to 325 degrees.


Line a cooking sheet with aluminum foil. This will help make cleaning up easier. Spoon a thin layer of barbecue sauce across the lined pan.


Slice pressed tofu into 1/2 inch thick cutlets and place in pan. Spoon a layer of sauce across the top of the tofu and bake for approximately one hour, checking occasionally so as not to overcook.


Tofu is done cooking when sauce has baked in and tofu is moist, but not saucy.
