Pineapple Baked Tofu with Seared Pineapple Rings


This dish looks so beautiful once prepared, it looks like I put a lot more effort into it than I did!! Give it a try if you are looking to impress!

1 block extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed and sliced into 8-10 rectangles
3/4 c pineapple juice (from the can of pineapple rings)
1/4 c tamari
1 TBSP seasoned rice vinegar
3 TBSP peanut oil, divided
1 TBSP Old Bay Seasoning, divided
8 pineapple rings

Preheat oven to 400. To make marinade, mix pineapple juice, tamari, rice vinegar, peanut oil, and 1/2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning. Place tofu in marinade so it covers the slices. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping over after 10 minutes.
To make the pineapple rings lightly oil a very hot skillet and sear the rings, both sides, until nicely colored. Set aside until ready to serve.
Remove tofu from oven and place it on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, reserving the marinade. Increase the oven to 425 and bake for 20 mins, flipping after 10.

I served mine with brown rice, then steamed spinach, then tofu, then pineapple rings, drizzling left over marinade over the top.
