3. Put the sauce into a dish, and dip each piece of tofu into the sauce, coating it well (I used barbecue sauce, and it was tasty).
4. Place the tofu on the cookie sheet in a single layer (Pieces can be touching, but should not overlap).

I really enjoyed this recipe, but some of my friends who aren't used to tofu weren't big fans, so it might not be the best thing to serve to the non-tofu oriented. For the rest of us, enjoy - it's a great recipe, and I used the leftovers for a tofu bbq sandwich which was quite yummy. Thanks!

This was an awesome recipe, I used the chile sauce and added garlic powder, ginger powder, salt and pepper and baked it for an hour....yummy, thanks!!

Sweet chilli sauce is the way to go! Good basic recipe. Twenty minutes worked well in my oven to get a crispy edge to the tofu.

The flavor was wonderful. I used Walden Farms bbq sauce, garlic powder and a little chili powder. I don't know what I did, but I had to cook mine for over an hour. Finally, after about 45 minutes I cut the tofu up in pieces and put the cookie sheet at the bottom of the oven. After that, it was delicious. Thank you for the recipe.

This is a tasty recipe. I used firm tofu that I pressed to remove excess liquid and plum sauce. My tofu didn't get crispy. Maybe it wasn't pressed long enough? I'll try extra firm next time.
