Spicy Baked Garlic Orange Tofu and Green Beans

What You'll Need For the Baked Tofu:
- 1 Package of Extra Firm Tofu
- The Juice of One Orange
- 2 TBS Old Bay Seasoning
- 3 Cloves of Garlic, minced

Whisk together the juice of one orange, minced garlic and the Old Bay Seasoning in s small bowl and set aside. Drain any excess liquid from the tofu and then cut it into bit sized cubes.  Place in a shallow dish and pour marinade over the tofu.  Cover and refrigerate (the longer you let it marinate the better....anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight).  When you are ready to bake the tofu preheat your oven to 425 degrees.  Spray a baking dish with olive oil or other cooking spray.  Place the tofu in a single layer on the baking sheet.  Bake for 15 minutes, turn the tofu and bake for another 15 minutes.

What You'll Need for the Sauce:
-Juice of two oranges
-1 TBS Old Bay Seasoning

Whisk together the juice and Old Bay Seasoning in a small sauce pan.  Bring to a boil and stir constantly.  As the mixture boils it will reduce and thicken.  Once it has reduced to about four or five tablespoons it's done.  Drizzle over tofu before serving.

The green beans were super quick.  The produce section of my grocery store has these little bags of veggies that steam in the microwave.  I microwaved them for a minute less than the instructions on the back called for.  Then i heated a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over high heat.  Once the pan was really hot I added the green beans and cooked them for about five minutes.  Then I just sprinkled them with salt and pepper.
