Ingredients

28 ounces extra firm tofu

flour mixture

  • 1/3 cup gluten-free all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup organic corn starch

breadcrumb mixture

  • 1 and 1/2 cups bread crumbs
  • 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tbsp onion powder
  • 3/4 cup grated vegan parmesan cheese

1 and 1/2 cups plain and unsweetened dairy free milk

1 jar marinara (25 ounces)

1 package vegan mozzarella cheese (see text for brand)

Instructions

  • preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • press the water out of the tofu as much as possible. removing the excess liquid from the tofu improves the flavor and texture. to do so, place the tofu between 2 layers of paper towel and plates and let that sit for about 10-15 minutes.
  • then, cut the tofu into about 3/4 inch thick rectangles. mix the corn starch with the gluten-free all purpose flour and add to a bowl.
  • add the breadcrumbs and seasoning to a food processor and blend until SUPER fine. then, add the parmesan cheese and blend again.
  • next, coat the tofu in the cornstarch and flour mixture and then gently dunk it into the dairy free milk bowl.
  • after that, place it into the breadcrumb parmesan mixture and make sure the tofu is well-coated.
  • add to a parchment lined baking tray and spray with avocado oil or olive oil if you have some. bake at 400 degrees for 22 minutes.
  • take the tofu out, gently flip it, spray the other side and bake another 18 minutes.
  • remove the tofu, add a couple tbsp of vegan marinara and vegan cheese on top. bake another 5 minutes until the cheese melts a bit.
  • serve with cooked pasta of your choosing mixed with the marinara. enjoy!
