Spicy Tofu Jerky
The spicy tofu jerky is an amazing dish that I know. And I realize it may appear to be insane to make spicy tofu jerky yet you won’t be baffled. With the majority of the fiery flavoring and its chewy dried consistency, you presumably won’t understand that it is tofu.

This has been our favorite recipe for recently! I make a mix of steamed broccoli and carrots to add to the bowl, and it’s amazing – we literally eat it once a week! Thanks for the awesome recipe!
My husband loved it. It was a little bit too spicy for me but that’s because I’m dont really like spicy but overall definitely making it again since it’s so easy.
I love this recipe. I have been using a baked tofu recipe for years, but could never convince my 17-year-old son who eats anything to love it as much as everyone else does.
I made this last week and loved it so much I am making it again tonight. I added a red jalapeno for more heat. That’s great.
