How to Prepare Barbecue Tofu Sandwich [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Mix all the ingredients for the marinade well in a shallow bowl.
Cut the tofu into four slices approximately 1 inch thick.
Place the tofu in the marinade and let it sit in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours (or overnight).
Preheat oven to 450°F, remove tofu slices from the marinade and bake them for 30 minutes (after half the time, spread over the rest of the sauce).
Cut the cucumber into a long strip (cut out the seeds) and marinate it with vinegar and salt.
Cut the onion into thick slices.
Place them in olive oil in a hot pan and fry them for 15 minutes at low to medium heat.
Add the maple syrup after 10 minutes and caramelize them at low heat.
5 minutes before the tofu is finished, cut the rolls and put them into the oven.
Cover the sandwich halves with mayonnaise, lettuce, tofu, cucumber pickles, and onions.
