INGREDIENTS
300g Extra Firm Tofu
1 medium Carrot
1 medium Parsnip
1/2 cup Chickpeas (canned, drained)
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
2 cloves Garlic
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess water. Once pressed, slice the tofu into 1/2-inch thick steaks.
In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 teaspoon of olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper. Coat the tofu steaks evenly in the herb marinade.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). On a baking sheet, arrange your chopped root vegetables: dice the carrot and parsnip into uniform pieces. Drizzle with the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
While the vegetables roast, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the marinated tofu steaks in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
In the last 5 minutes of roasting, add the drained chickpeas to the baking sheet to warm and crisp up slightly.
Plate the crispy herbed tofu steaks alongside the roasted root vegetables and chickpeas. Serve immediately and enjoy the blend of savory herbs, crunchy textures, and roasted flavors.
