Ingredients

200 grams firm tofu we use smoked tofu strips that are perfect for this
50 milliliters tamari
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
0.5 teaspoons pepper
0.25 teaspoons paprika
0.25 teaspoons onion powder
0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon liquid smoke If not using smoked marinated tofu.

Instructions

If using a block of tofu, drain it well. Preheat oven to 200°C. Cut the tofu into thin strips. The size of the strips can vary, depending on how you need them.
Mix the rest of the ingredients together to create a marinade. Dip the pieces of tofu in the marinade.
Place the pieces onto baking paper and bake for approx. 10 minutes. Depending on the size of the strips, you may want to flip them and cook them for a bit longer. Just watch out for the tofu as the marinade can burn easily.

Notes

Note that you don't always need the bacon to be super smoky, depending on where you use it. When you want a less intense flavor, just leave out the liquid smoke completely.
