Preheat the oven to 400 F/ 205 C
Carefully slice the tofu into ¼ inch thick slices making 8 squares. You are slicing it length wise to make squares not height wise to make little rectangles. See the photos in the post. Place them on a plate or wide container.
Mixthe Tamari, maple, lime juice, garlic powder, liquid smoke, pepper and hot sauce in a bowl and whisk well.
Coat the tofu slices with the mixture on both sides. You can let them marinate for a few minutes as you clean up and/or prep the ingredients you will serve with, but it isn’t necessary. You can even marinate overnight for a really deep flavor.
Lay them out on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes. Flip and bake another 5-7 minutes, depending on how crispy you want them. Be careful not to burn the tofu slices.
Allow to cool as you assemble your toppings. Build the sandwiches by spreading the sauce on the slices of bread. Then add lettuce, tomato, tofu slices (I to 2 per sandwich), avocado, cucumber and sprouts. You can do any order you prefer, but I like the tofu nestled in the middle of everything.
Serve and enjoy!

This was my creation and mixture for serving, but you can serve this with whatever sandwich extras you love! See the post for other ideas.
This isn't meant to be a crispy fried like tofu, it's meant to be somewhat soft but with crisp edges. If you want it actually crispy then you can cut the slices thicker and add some cornstarch to the marinade.
