Bake fried tofu / marinated baked tofu/ glazed tofu

 I came up with this method after giving myself a lovely 1 1/2 in long tofu pan frying scar and decided only things like latkes were worth that kind of pain. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Put parchment on a baking sheet or your tofu will adhere with a death grip to the pan. Cursing and possible spatula injury may ensue. take your 1 lb block of water packed tofu (not the shelf stable stuff here) and cube into blocks about 1 inch cubes or 1" by 2" blocks (shrinkage will occur). Toss in spices if desired. Space evenly on papered cookie sheet. Spray or brush with oil. This all takes maybe 5  minutes. Put in oven. feel free to roast squash or garlic or whatever because it's going to be heating up your house and using fuel for 1/2 hour. Bake 15 minutes and flip the tofu then bake another 15. allow to cool. put in bags to store for up to 10 days in the fridge.

Alterations:
Marinated you can choose to bake marinated tofu. Pirst let tofu set on a plate or in a bowl and drain at least 1 hour. Then place in marinade of choice (lime juice , tamarind paste, ginger and soy anybody?) in bowl or zipbag for up to 2 days. Proceed as above or roast whole bricks and slice for vegan lunchmeat that doesn't taste like meat but goes great with sriracha veganise, avocado and sprouts.

Glazed- take sweet sauce of choice like mango chutney,honey with sesame seeds, bbq sauce and brush or spread lightly with a spoon on one side during 1st half of baking and on other during 2nd half. reduce heat to 375 to reduce scorching of sugar.
