Notes
- For the BBQ sauce, depending on the type of sauce you are using, adjust the soy sauce. Sometimes, certain BBQ sauces are heavily salted and that often yields a salty tofu. So just to a taste test of the BBQ sauce and adjust the soy sauce as needed.
- If you don't want the potatoes to be crispy and like them soft, take them off the baking sheet at 20 minute mark.
- No onion salt? No problem. Just mix equal amount of garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil and thyme with a little bit of salt. And use instead of onion salt.
