Step 1
Begin by assembling all the essential ingredients for this delightful tofu dish.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and prepare a large baking sheet by lightly coating it with cooking spray.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, agave nectar, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger, whisking them together until they harmonize beautifully.
Step 4
Take your tofu slices and gently press them to eliminate any excess moisture, ensuring they soak up all the flavors.

Step 6
Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the tofu bake for 30 minutes, filling your kitchen with an enticing aroma.
Step 7
After the first bake, carefully flip the tofu slices and lavish the remaining soy sauce mixture on top, then sprinkle sesame seeds for an added crunch.
Step 8
Return the tofu to the oven for another 30 minutes, or until it transforms into a crispy, golden-brown delight.
Step 9
Once baked to perfection, remove the tofu from the oven and let it rest on a wire rack for a few moments before serving.
