Ingredients
-
1 14-ounce package extra-firm tofu, drained, cubed (3/4-inch) and patted dry
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
-
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
-
5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
-
2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
-
1 teaspoon brown sugar
-
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
-
1 scallion, thinly sliced
Directions
-
Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler to High. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
-
Toss tofu, oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper together in a medium bowl. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Broil until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Return the tofu to the medium bowl.
-
Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, mustard, brown sugar and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring often, until thickened and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Whisk in butter until melted; remove from heat. Add the sauce to the tofu; toss until evenly coated.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tofu pieces to the same baking sheet. Broil until nicely browned, 3 to 5 minutes more. Use tongs to transfer to a platter, leaving any burned sauce behind. Drizzle with the excess sauce from the bowl, then sprinkle with basil and scallions.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
