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. Change the towel and dry twice allowing 15 minutes each pressing.
- Combine your ingredients for the marinade.
- Marinate for a minimum of 24 hours in resealable freezer bags or containers.
- When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
- On the bottom of your baking dish, put your orange slices and garlic.
- Score the top of the tofu in a diamond pattern.
- Decorate each intersection with whole cloves and place in the baking dish.
- Bake 30-40 minutes or until cooked thoroughly with some caramelized edges.
- While the tofu is baking, combine your glaze ingredients and cook on medium heat. Allow to thicken/combine while stirring consistently.
- 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!
