Baked Tofu with a Blood Orange Glaze

Ever since I found this recipe on Pintrest my mind has been spinning with recipe ideas.  After stumbling on a jar of Blood Orange Spread from Crofter's Organic I knew exactly what I wanted to do!   This jam is not super sweet, and has a slightly bitter taste.  It is delicious on toast, especially when mixed with cream cheese or butter, but it is not ideal for topping oats with.  The slightly sweet flavor is what makes this jam an ideal addition to a savory glaze!!

I usually stick to my favorite method of dry frying tofu,  but this glaze requires the protein to be baked! By roasting tofu the center stays tender, and the edges become a touch crispy, a great change to our typical stir fry!

Pinch Cayenne

Tofu + Veggies

1 Block Firm Tofu
