Chili and Curry Baked Tofu | Dinner

If you like tofu and you like Indian-or Thai-style curries, you’ll love

this spicy baked tofu, which tastes like a slowly simmered curry in

each bite. Use the extra marinade to dress a bowl of plain steamed

rice.

1/2teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon curry powder

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

2–3 small chilies, minced

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1 (16-ounce) block firm or extra-firm tofu, sliced into thin strips

Instructions

chilies, and maple syrup in a shallow bowl. Add tofu and marinate for at

2. Preheat oven to 425°F.

3. Transfer tofu to a casserole dish in a single layer, reserving marinade.

marinade over the tofu. Bake 10–12 more minutes.
