Cuisine: Caribbean
Ingredients: 1 block of extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed; 2 tbsp soy sauce; 2 tbsp olive oil; 2 tbsp brown sugar; 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar; 3 cloves of garlic, minced; 1 small onion, finely chopped; 2 tsp dried thyme; 1 tsp ground allspice; 1 tsp smoked paprika; 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste); Salt and pepper to taste; Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, chopped onion, dried thyme, allspice, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the cubed tofu in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the tofu, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Arrange the marinated tofu cubes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Reserve any excess marinade for basting.
Bake the tofu for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through and basting with the reserved marinade to develop a crispy exterior.
Remove the tofu from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot with Caribbean-inspired sides such as rice and peas, plantains, or a tropical salad.
