I followed the recipe except for the liquid smoke (I did not have any). I also made sure to really press all the liquid out of the tofu. Lastly, just make sure to keep an eye on the tofu once it is in the oven. Some of my pieces started to get a little "too crispy". I really enjoyed this recipe as did two of my three daughters (and believe me, they are pretty picky eaters). We snacked on them and finished them off within minutes. Next time I'll need to make a double batch!

I don't care what the rest of the reviews say... trust me, and follow the recipe to a tee! It is AWESOME!!! I make this all the time, and I LOVE it! I recomend using Heinz organic ketchup (healthier ingredients, same consistency) and pure maple syrup (other maple syrup is basically corn syrup and sugar... not good). I wouldn't recommend using lite or sugar free syrup... it makes the marinade watery. Enjoy this tofu, it's SOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!! And DON'T be afraid of the smoke sauce, YUM!

I didn't particularly LOVVVVE the sauce, but I loved the idea...so I've been experimenting with different sauces (peanut satay sauce is the BEST!) I gave it a four for versatility. I'll DEF make baked tofu bites again, I'll just use a different sauce!

I was pretty disappointed at how this turned out. But, after they came out of the oven I didn't like the flavor so I mixed them in a little more maple syrup. I forgot about it until the next day and tried it again. The tofu was def. better the next day.

I liked them and I followed the recipe exactly. Except they were a little soft b/c I got firm instead of extra firm tofu. And I forgot to spray the pan so they stuck pretty bad.

One of the best tofu recipes I've tried. The key is to squeeze the excess water out of the tofu, giving the marinade a chance to soak in.I also omitted the liquid smoke as I didn't think I had any on hand. I marinated the tofu bites for 30 minutes and cooked them for an hour. I doubled the recipe for the marinade and used the remaining liquid as a base for a stir-fry sauce for rice noodles combined with grated carrots. I added grated peeled cucumber at the end of cooking. It was a hit with both of my kids and my husband. My son is one of the pickiest eaters in the world so I'll definitely being using this recipe again! I'll probably try adding a few drops of liquid smoke next time.

These were great after I refridgerated the final product. I used light maple syrup because that's all I had and the taste was still good (the sauce was just a little thin). And since I didn't have sesame seeds I used a teaspoon of sesame oil for taste. It worked! I also followed the recommendations to leave out the liquid smoke. Pretty good hot, and better cold! My roomie and friends couldn't get enough!

These weren't bad, but just ok. I followed the recipe exactly and my husband and I liked the flavor of the sauce. He wants to try it on chicken. We both like toufu, but probably won't be maknig these again.

I was making this tonight and kept thinking that I've smelled that exact sauce before, but where? I added a few more spices because I like tons of spice. I added a 1/2 tbsp of A1 steak sauce, I used rice vinegar and only 1/2 the recommended liquid smoke. I added a dash of paprika, 5 spice, cumin, curry, and onion powder. It was very good over steamed white rice. I did in fact make 3 times the sauce because the recipe doesn't call for enough. I drizzled some on the tofu about half way through baking and a little on top after serving on the rice. I figured out where I've seen this recipe before. It's a beef jerky recipe. Try it and marinade the jerky over night. Put it in a smoker or use a dehydrator. Very yummy stuff, as is this tofu jerky!!

This recipe did not quite soak into the tofu and the tofu came out very dry. I don't think I'll be trying this again.

Our family of 7 was split on this recipe. Oddly enough one of our "meat eaters" loved it, but 2 of our "veggie eaters" didn't. We did not use the liquid smoke, but otherwise followed the recipe. Not a huge hit, but we will give this one another try.

This was a good recipe. I didn't have any sesame seeds so I left those out. I was hoping for the coating to carmelize more so it would be more chewy, but it turned out ok.

Loved this recipe - following the advice of others I left out the liquid smoke. I also left out the hot sauce and changed the garlic powder to a clove of garlic. Thinking of changing the ketchup to BBQ sauce next time. Thanks for the recipe - delicious!!!! :)

This is one of my favorite ways to prepare tofu. I've made this recipe many times and find that baking it for a minumum of 45 minutes produces a more textured tofu. I love the marinade as written and with a few variations, like adding powdered giger or honey instead of syrup, these little tofu bites are even more delicious! The marinade really bakes into the tofu so don't plan on a saucy dish, I usually pair these with a saucy veggie stir fry and rice, yum! What a perfect dinner!
