Baked Tofu for Sandwiches

Who doesn’t love a good sandwich? This baked tofu will rock any kind of bread you pair with it, from baguette to brioche to regular sliced bread.

We had ours with Caesar-dressed kale in the sandwich to fancy it up, and sliced it into tiny dainty tea-sized bites.

You can also eat the baked tofu straight up or use it in other recipes. It’s so addictive!

This recipe is part of the zero-waste, plant-based tea party I designed in honor of the Queen’s passing.

I made blueberry chocolate tarts, mushroom choux bites, lemon raisin scones and these crispy tofu kale caesar sandwiches – using only ingredients that I had leftover in my fridge or freezer.

This was the final challenge in the very first season of the Great British Bakeoff, which I am following along and making all vegan.

The Queen has been a deep source of inspiration and perseverance to me, so this tea party of tribute is a small token of my gratitude.

I wasn’t in the right country to stand in line to pay my respects, so I stood in my kitchen and baked instead, hoping that was enough.

Wishing you all a beautiful day with many peaceful moments.

Ingredients

• 1 block extra-firm tofu
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp garlic powder

Directions

Cut your tofu into strips (for sandwiches) or cubes (to top a salad or a stirfry). Mix gently in a bowl with all the other ingredients and let it soak while the oven is heating up.

Spread the marinated tofu on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 400F for about 25 minutes, mixing it around gently half-way through. It will be nice and golden and crispy.

Use your baked tofu for sandwiches, salads, stir-fries, or enjoy straight from the oven! If you want to try the kale Caesar version I made, the recipe for my plant-based Caesar dressing is here.
