I end up eating it by itself. I love it hot or cold. And of course absolutely everything to do with this recipe can be adapted to taste or what you have in the kitchen. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Selecting the Right Tofu: Opt for extra-firm or firm tofu for baking, as softer varieties tend to crumble.
- Pressing Tofu: Pressing tofu removes excess moisture, resulting in a firmer texture and better absorption of marinade.
- Marinating Tofu: Allow tofu to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours, to infuse flavor.
- Choosing a Baking Dish: Use a baking dish that is just large enough to accommodate the tofu in a single layer, preventing overcrowding.
- Baking Temperature and Time: Bake tofu at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for a shorter duration to achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior.
- Flipping Tofu: Flip tofu halfway through baking to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Resting Tofu: Let tofu rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
- Serving Suggestions: Baked tofu can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. Pair it with grains, vegetables, or your favorite sauce.
