Tofu Sandwich Slices
Category: Sandiwches/Burgers
Suitable for a: vegan diet
Ingredients:
------------------------------------------------------
1-pound block of extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
4 Tbsp low-sodium tamari, soy sauce, or Braggs Liquid Aminos
1.5 - 2 tsp Liquid smoke
2 Tbsp maple syrup
Cooking spray
Instructions:
------------------------------------------------------
Heat oven to 325 F.
After draining and pressing the tofu, carefully slice it through the width to form thin layer-shaped slices that will fit on a piece of bread. You should be able to get at least 8 thickish slices out of it, and maybe more thinner slices if you're good at slicing it.
Spray a non-stick baking sheet with cooking spray and lay the slices out on it.
In a small bowl, mix the nutritional yeast, tamari, and liquid smoke. It will form a fairly thick glaze. Brush this onto the tops of the tofu slices, then turn them over and brush the other side.
Bake at 325 for about 40 minutes, turning every 10 minutes. During the last 10 minutes, brush the slices with maple syrup.
By the end of 40 minutes, you should see them turning noticeably brown and crispy, particularly in the thinner areas, and shriveling up a bit around the edges. They will not become completely bacon-like, though. If they still seem too pale and wobbly, you can bake them a bit longer, but if you bake them too long, you may have tofu jerky instead.
Slap immediately onto sandwiches, or refrigerate and reheat in the microwave as needed.

I got 8 slices out of my block of tofu, but I had already eaten one when I took this picture. It was nummy on a veggie sammie. Just the right amount of salty-sweet chewiness.
