Ingredients
- 150 gram tofu, drained
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup

- Mix all the marinade ingredients well in a bowl and transfer to an airtight storage container
- Add the tofu, shake or flip the container occasionally. Soak for at least an hour, and better overnight to absorb flavors.
- Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius (320 F); Line a baking tray with baking paper, place the tofu; Sprinkle the rest of the marinade over the tofu.
- Bake for about 20 minutes until brown and slightly crispy; Make sure the tofu doesn't not burn; Check after about ten minutes, and mix for evenly baking
- When ready - remove from the oven and let cool for about five minutes. The tofu bacon will turn more crispy.
Notes
