Description
A quick and delicious cheesy baked tofu dish topped with vegan mozzarella, perfect for a satisfying dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 block (8 ounces) super firm tofu
- 1 1/2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/3 cup vegan mozzarella shreds
- 3 tablespoons nondairy milk, unsweetened and unflavored
- Scant 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- Spray oil (for baking, optional)
- Basil (for garnish, optional)
- Grated vegan parmesan (for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
- Cut the tofu into about 1/4 inch thick slices.
- Keep the tofu wet so the seasonings adhere.
- Combine the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, paprika, and dried parsley in a small dish.
- Coat each slice of tofu with the seasoning mixture and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Optionally, spray lightly with spray oil and bake in the oven for about 13 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the tofu is baking, combine the vegan mozzarella and nondairy milk in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until the cheese melts into a creamy consistency.
- Once the tofu is done baking, remove it from the oven and spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over each piece.
- Top with melted vegan mozzarella and return to the oven to bake for 5 more minutes.
- If desired, you can broil on high for about 2 minutes, but watch closely to avoid burning.
- Allow to cool for 1 to 2 minutes before carefully removing from the pan.
- Plate it up and add any desired garnishes like fresh basil or grated vegan parmesan.
