Tasty Baked Tofu – Kid Approved!

By

This tofu recipe is inspired by a recipe my cousin Kate makes for her four kids! Tofu is a tricky thing to make deliciously, and an even more difficult thing to make for kids. But somehow, the sweet, salty, umami, and sour flavors obtained from the maple syrup, soy sauce, ketchup, and vinegar make for a sensational tofu experience!

Further Food Commentary:

With its rich, deeply flavored, and somewhat smoky-spicy marinade (that does double duty as a sauce), this recipe will change the minds of even the most meat-loving or tofu-skeptical!​ At less than 100 calories, plus about 7 grams of protein per (3-ounce) serving, tofu is a good source of calcium, iron, magnesium, immune-boosting zinc, and both healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. It is also a good source of both folate and choline -- two nutrients that offer some protection from development of birth defects, making them especially important for women who are planning to be or currently are pregnant!
