Chop thyme leaves and add them to the marinade; parsley or oregano can also be used.

Whisk the marinade together until combined.

Place the drained tofu in the marinade, flipping it to ensure all sides are coated.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Once roasted, the tofu should have a bronze, caramel color.

Plate the tofu and garnish with fresh thyme leaves and cracked pepper.
