Savour the season with our Glazed Holiday Tofu Roast – a savoury, plant-based centerpiece that adds a festive twist to your celebrations. Perfectly spiced and glazed for a delicious holiday meal without the fuss.
Directions
- The day before you want to eat the tofu roast, open the tofu, drain liquid, and then press it to rid of excess brine. Wrap it in a dry towel and stack some heavy pans/objects on top to press out moisture.
- For the marinade: In medium bowl, combine Farm Boy™ Extra Virgin Olive Oil, soy sauce, Farm Boy™ Golden Maple Syrup, dark brown sugar, Farm Boy™ Garlic Flowers, and Farm Boy™ Mesquite Seasoning.
- Place tofu in a resealable plastic bag and cover with marinade. Marinate for a minimum of 24 hours.
- When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F, and line a baking dish with parchment paper. Remove tofu from fridge.
- On the bottom of your baking dish, place your orange slices and garlic. Place tofu on top.
- Score the top of the tofu in a diamond pattern.
- Decorate each intersection with Farm Boy™ Whole Cloves.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until cooked thoroughly with some caramelized edges.
- While the tofu is baking, make your glaze.
- For the glaze: In a pan, combine bourbon or rum, orange zest, Farm Boy™ Orange Juice, dark brown sugar, Farm Boy™ Organic Chili Peppers, Farm Boy™ Peach Jam, ginger, salt, Farm Boy™ Organic Paprika, and black pepper. Cook on medium heat and allow to thicken while stirring constantly.
- Take tofu out of the oven and pour your glaze over the tofu.
- Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until caramelized.
- Slice, plate, and enjoy!
