An herbaceous, endlessly versatile and protein-packed topping for salad, pasta, wraps, and more.

Ingredients

  • 14 oz tofu

  • 2 Tbs tamari

  • 3 Tbs balsamic vinegar

  • 2 Tbs tomato paste

  • 5 garlic cloves

  • 2 tsp dried basil

  • 1  1/2 tsp dried oregano

  • 3/4 tsp dried thyme

Preparation

Prep

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Make

  1. Cube tofu and pat dry

  2. Arrange tofu pieces on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients (tamari, balsamic vinegar, tomato paste, garlic, basil, oregano, thyme and salt).

  4. Pour over the tofu and toss to coat.

  5. Bake for 20 minutes, flip with a spatula, and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the tofu is a little firm and golden with crispy edges.

  6. Enjoy warm or at room temperature. This tofu is the perfect protein boost for wraps, risotto, polenta or on pizza or paired with roasted vegetables.
