Baked Tofu Steaks are loaded with flavor from lemon, garlic, and thyme. This easy vegan entree pairs perfectly with your favorite grains and vegetables for a satisfying and delicious meal.
Press the tofu to remove the excess liquid for about 15 minutes. (If you're using super firm tofu you can skip pressing it.)
Meanwhile, add the olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, thyme, and salt and pepper, to a baking dish.
Cut the tofu into 8 equal-sized pieces.
Coat both sides of each piece of tofu in the marinade. Place the tofu in the baking dish along with the marinade, then cover and refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight.
Bake the tofu uncovered in a 375℉ oven for 40 to 45 minutes until firm and lightly browned, flipping the tofu pieces half way though.
Notes
*Be sure to zest the lemons before juicing them.If you have time, I recommend marinating the tofu overnight for maximum flavor.Leftovers will last up to 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Freezing is not recommended.
