This recipe can be a life-saver when you don't feel much like cooking. It's simple to pull together with very little effort and gives everything it's added to a boost of flavor and protein. It's ideal to add to one-bowl dishes, such as the Bliss Bowls in Low-FODMAP and Vegan, and makes a great sandwich filling too.

Easy Low-FODMAP Baked Tofu
Makes 4 servings
​INGREDIENTS
  • 16 ounces superfirm tofu or extra-firm tofu, pressed
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium tamari
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet or baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the tofu into the desired shapes: cubes, strips, triangles, or slices/slabs.
  3. Put the sesame oil, garlic-infused oil, tamari, and vinegar in a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the tofu, toss gently (using your hands, if necessary, to prevent the tofu from breaking) until all pieces are evenly coated. Let marinate for 20 to 30 minutes, tossing occasionally, until most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  4. Arrange the tofu in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown, turning over cubes, strips, or triangles every 10 minutes or turning over slices/slabs after 15 minutes.

Looks like a great recipe, I love cooked tofu, especially when its brown and crispy on the outside, flavorful on the inside. Thank you.

This recipe is delicious! I love how easy it is to make the marinade. Is it still low fodmap if it marinates longer than 30 mins.? I left it to marinate overnight.

I'm so glad you like the recipe, Lanie! Yes, it's still low-FODMAP regardless of how long you marinate it.

Thank you so much for this wonderful exclamation. I ordered your book a couple of days ago and have been gone away. It is the first book that has really been mindful of high fat content along with low FODMAP restrictions. I sought out your website because of how much I love your cookbook! On this marinade, will the fat content be very high due to the Sesame oil? I also do not have a gallbladder, along with my IBS, so processing higher fat is very hard for me. Thanks!

I'm delighted to know you are enjoying the book, Kristin! It's important for most people to be mindful of fat intake (as well as sodium intake), so I paid close attention to both of these concerns when developing the recipes. You can omit the sesame oil in this recipe and tofu will still be delicious (it just won't taste as I intended it to).
