BBQ Tofu Burger

1 extra firm block of tofu, we love Hodo Foods*. * Hodo is 10oz, whereas other brands are 16. If you use a 16oz block the serving size will be larger. 

Tofu Marinade
4-5 tbsp Primal Kitchen Hawaiian BBQ Sauce (or your favorite BBQ sauce) 
Preheat oven to 400.
Cross hatch tofu, by cutting diagonally only 3 quarters. 
Brush tofu to cover completely with marinade, and allow to "marinate" for about 15 minutes while the oven warms.
Bake at 400 for 30 minutes. Basting with a little extra marinade in between.
