Caramelized Tofu Wings

SAHS's Note:

This was derived from the "Caramelized Chicken Wings" recipe here on 'zaar, and is now my favorite way to serve tofu!

• Total Time: 1 hrs 45 mins
• Prep Time: 1 hrs
• Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 4

Yield: 4.0 4 oz. s ...

• 12 ounces extra firm tofu
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Drain the tofu, and then remove excess moisture by cutting it in half lengthwise and microwaving on high, uncovered, for two minutes. Gently squeeze out and wipe off excess moisture, then throw tofu in the freezer for an hour or so before removing to thaw in the fridge -- this will give the tofu a slightly heavier texture.
2. Cut into 1/8" thick, bite-size rectangles and arrange single-layer in a large baking dish. Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl or measuring cup and pour over the tofu; make sure every piece is coated.
3. Bake at 375F for 45 minutes, or until the sauce has caramelized. Serve alone as snack food, on a toasted bun like a chicken sandwich, over rice or BBQ/ranch veggies, or in a salad.
