Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Prepare a greased baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Drain the tofu and pat it dry. Slice the tofu thinly using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together vegetable broth, Bragg's Liquid Aminos, liquid smoke, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Marinate the tofu for at least 10 minutes.
  4. Arrange the tofu slices on the baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. While the tofu bakes, butter one side of each slice of bread. Grill the buttered side in a skillet, layering with baked tofu and spicy tahini sauce.
  6. Cook the assembled sandwich for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Serve hot.
