Calories 80 kcal
- 1 block extra firm tofu drained, pressed and cubed
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp gochujang
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp water
Preheat oven to 400.
Place cubed tofu on oiled sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes. Flip once halfway. For crispier tofu add 10 minutes to cooking time before adding sauce in last step.( I like mine soft and meaty).
Meanwhile, in a small pan combine gochujang, water, soy sauce and maple syrup and bring to a quick boil, whisking to combine until smooth.
Pour sauce over tofu and bake for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize.
