Manuka Honey Glazed Tofu with Quinoa Salad

Ingredients

• 1 lb Firm tofu, pressed
• 1/4 cup Manuka honey
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 2 cups Quinoa, cooked
• 1 Cucumber, diced
• 1 Red bell pepper, diced
• 1/4 Red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh mint, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the 1 lb of pressed firm tofu into 1-inch cubes.
2. 2In a medium bowl, combine the 1/4 cup of Manuka honey, 2 tablespoons of Soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free), 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, and 1 clove of minced garlic. Whisk these ingredients together until the glaze is smooth and well combined.
3. 3Add the 1 lb of tofu cubes to the bowl with the glaze. Gently toss the tofu until all pieces are evenly coated with the glaze.
4. 4Arrange the glazed tofu cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure they do not touch each other. Bake the tofu in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tofu appears golden brown and slightly caramelized on its edges.
5. 5While the tofu bakes, prepare the quinoa salad. In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of cooked quinoa, 1 diced cucumber, 1 diced red bell pepper, 1/4 finely chopped red onion, and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh mint.
6. 6In a small separate bowl, whisk together the 2 tablespoons of lime juice and 2 tablespoons of olive oil until they are well combined. Pour this dressing over the ingredients in the large mixing bowl and gently toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated.
7. 7Serve the warm Manuka honey glazed tofu immediately alongside the prepared quinoa salad.
