Crispy Baked Garlic Tofu

Tofu is baked until crispy and then tossed in a thick, Chinese-style stir-fry garlic sauce.

I’m pretty excited about the extra hour of daylight now that we’re on daylight saving time again. Though it actually feels much longer than one hour. It suddenly feels like I have so much more time. Instead of just cooking dinner after work, I now have time to garden, clean, organize and do a bunch of other house things before it gets dark. In fact, these scallions I used came from the garden.

Mr. K and I both love crispy baked tofu. It’s so weird seeing my husband excited by anything that is healthy, but every time he sees me making tofu he gets as excited as a kid. He kept asking me if the tofu was ready yet every ten minutes. You’d think I was making cookies.

I love baking tofu until the edges turn crisp. For a little variation, I decided to rework my go-to honey garlic sauce and made a more savory version. This sauce is super garlicky, with minced garlic in nearly every bite. But I really loved how it turned out and will definitely be making it again soon.
