Roasted Glazed Tofu
by Karissa's Vegan Kitchen
This 5-ingredient glazed tofu roast is the perfect vegan alternative to a traditional ham roast.
Servings: 4
Calories: 183kcal
Ingredients
- 1 (14 oz.) block extra firm tofu
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
Instructions
- Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes. (See notes)
- Score the pressed tofu with a sharp knife in a diagonal pattern. Place tofu in a container.
- Whisk together all of the glaze ingredients in a medium-sized pot.
- Bring to a simmer on medium heat, then reduce to low. Let simmer for 2 minutes.
- Pour about half of the glaze over the tofu. Let marinate for at least 1 hour, flipping halfway and basting with the marinade occasionally. You can also marinate overnight.
- Continue to simmer the remaining glaze for an additional 4-5 minutes, until thickened and reduced by about half (do not cover with lid.)
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the tofu from the marinade and place on the baking sheet. Brush with about half of the thickened glaze.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the edges have browned.
- Brush the remaining glaze on top and enjoy warm!
Notes
I like to press tofu by placing the block of tofu between two towels or paper towels, then placing a cast iron pan on top for weight. See my crispy tofu recipe for more tips on pressing tofu.
