What’s In This Garlic Honey Tofu Recipe?

• Tofu – I have been LOVING these shelf-stable tofu packs from Amazon. I literally have 3 cases of them in my pantry as we speak. They are an inexpensive and healthy way to get some plant protein in. The texture of this extra firm tofu is perfect for this turmeric tofu salad, no pressing required!
• Raw Honey: or normal honey, whatever you have on hand. We only use raw honey, because thats how we keep the honey from our beehives.
• Worcestershire Sauce: for that unbelievably rich umami flavor, but make sure you use a vegan variety if you don’t eat meat (some can contain anchovies).  Annie’s makes a great vegan Worcestershire sauce you can buy here!
• Garlic: I use fresh garlic when I have it, and this great jarred organic garlic when I don’t have fresh. It’s actually super convenient to have pre-chopped garlic on hand for quick and easy meal prep.
• Garlic Powder: A great way to add a lot of flavor with just a small amount of spice!  This garlic powder is a fanastic addition to this tofu and really bakes the flavor in.
• Onion Powder: a light sweet spice which adds a really nice depth of flavor to this dish!
• Pink Himalayan Sea Salt: I like to use a pink Himalayan Sea Salt in my kitchen, which has more natural minerals than plain processed table salt.  It’s fairly inexpensive, so I’d recommend this salt if you’re looking for an easy way to level up your spice pantry.
• Tellicherry Black Pepper: Like the salt, it’s amazing the flavor difference you can get with really good tellicherry black pepper.  This pepper is the same price is buying pre-ground, and has a million times more flavor!  I use these really great tellicherry peppercorns, which I would definitely recommend. 
• Corn Starch:just enough to coat the tofu and help it crisp in the oven. This is the secret ingredient to irrisistably crunchy baked tofu!  I like Anthony’s brand organic corn starch best.  I use it weekly to make crispy potatoes and tofu!

How Do I Find Good Honey?

This is one of my favoirte raw honey recipes! You can browse all of my honey recipes here on my site.  As a beekeeper, I love trying out new favorite honey recipes. Nothing is sweeter than using your own honey 🙂  If you’re looking to buy honey I’d recommend searching for  local beekeeper in your area.  That way you can have delicious local honey and also support an apiary… get it from the source.

How Do I Bake Crispy Honey Tofu?

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit, line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add the tofu, corn starch, garlic powder, onion powder and 1 teaspoon of the coconut oil. Toss well to coat the tofu.
3. Take the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and coat the parchment lined sheet pan with a thin layer of the oil. Place the tofu on the sheet pan in a single layer, and roast for 40 minutes, flipping halfway.
4. To make the honey garlic sauce, add the Worcestershire sauce, raw honey, sesame seeds, and garlic in a small bowl and stir well to combine.
5. Once tofu has finished cooking, add it back to the large mixing bowl and pour honey garlic sauce over.  Toss the tofu so it’s coated in the sauce. Serve over rice, lo mein, or roasted vegetables!
