Sticky Sriracha Maple Baked Tofu
Tofu is really the original vegan protein and I love it so much. There are so many ways to enjoy it, but for me crispy with a good sauce takes the cake. This Sticky Sriracha Maple Baked Tofu is both crispy and drenched in a delicious sauce so it checks all the boxes for a perfect tofu recipe!
This crispy sriracha tofu is perfect for all tofu lovers. The maple syrup gives this recipe serious fall vibes as well. The sweet and spicy flavor is so good together, it's hard to not eat the entire meal in one sitting! Ginger and garlic add extra nutrients to this meal plus some gut healing compounds.
All you need for this tofu is a handful of ingredients and your oven and stove top. The sauce takes less than 5 minutes to make thanks to arrowroot starch. Arrowroot starch is one of my favorite things to keep on hand, it's perfect for making things crispy and thickening sauces.
