Prep Time: Overnight + 10 mins | Cook Time: 1 hour | Makes: 6 skewers

Ingredients  

• 2 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce

• 1 Tbsp maple syrup

• 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil

• 1 tsp minced garlic

• 1 tsp minced ginger

• 1 Tbsp sesame seeds

• 1 lb firm tofu, sliced into 16 cubes

Directions

1. Freeze tofu overnight, then defrost. Cut tofu into 16 cubes, then one by one gently squeeze each tofu cube to release excess water, then put onto skewers.

2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, syrup, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.

3. Arrange skewers on a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush with half the mixture. Bake 30 minutes.

4. Flip tofu and brush with remaining soy mixture. Sprinkle sesame seeds over top. Continue baking until tofu is crisp, about 30 more minutes.
