Recipe Details

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes

Summary

Crisp-edged, baked tofu coated in aromatic Middle Eastern spices meets a cool, tangy herb yogurt for a vibrant, zesty bite. Serve with flatbread for a satisfying, fresh and savory vegan main.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes using a tofu press or by placing a heavy object on top.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. 3

    Cut the pressed tofu into cubes and place in a mixing bowl.

  4. 4

    Drizzle olive oil over the tofu and toss to coat evenly.

  5. 5

    Add oregano, sumac, cumin, sesame seeds, salt, and black pepper; toss until all tofu is coated in the spice blend.

  6. 6

    Spread the tofu in a single layer on a baking sheet.

  7. 7

    Bake for 20–30 minutes, or until browned, firm, and lightly crispy, flipping once if desired.

  8. 8

    While tofu bakes, make the herb yogurt sauce: In a small bowl combine non-dairy yogurt, chives, parsley, garlic powder, agave syrup, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir and adjust seasoning to taste.

  9. 9

    Serve the baked tofu immediately, drizzled with herb yogurt sauce, with flatbread on the side or wrapped if desired.
