Hawaiian Tofu Jerky - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb extra firm tofu, drained
    1/8 cup Braggs amino acids (or soy sauce)
    1/2 cup pineapple juice
    1 teaspoon powdered ginger
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne (or to taste)
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 tablespoon honey (or desired sweetener)
Preparation
    Cut the drained tofu into long narrow strips about 1/4\" thickness. They may look big, but will shrink during baking.
    In a bowl, whisk Braggs, pineapple juice, ginger, pepper, cayenne, garlic powder and honey.
    Place the tofu strips in a shallow baking pan or on a cookie sheet and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
    Cook the tofu in a dehydrator, following directions, or bake in the oven at 200*F. for 4-6 hours. Turn the tofu over once every hour so it bakes evenly.
    Continue until the texture is very chewy but not crispy.
    Tofu jerky will keep indefinitely. Store in a container with a tight fitting lid.
    Enjoy!
