How to Prepare Baked Tofu with Spicy Tahini Sauce [Vegan]

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  4. While the tofu is baking, make the sauce: Add tahini, tamari, 1/2 cup water, rice vinegar, maple syrup, ginger, garlic, and sriracha to a saucepan. Mix well and heat through until hot and creamy.
  5. Toss in prepared tofu and serve hot over rice. Garnish with the thyme, if desired.
