Crispy Pan-Seared Tofu with Zesty Roasted Tomatoes
Extra-firm tofu cubes pan-seared until golden and crisp, served alongside burst cherry tomatoes roasted with aromatic garlic and bright lemon zest.
INGREDIENTS
16 oz Extra firm tofu
2 tbsp Nutritional yeast
1 cup Cherry tomatoes
0.75 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Garlic powder
0.5 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Press the extra-firm tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
In a medium bowl, toss the tofu cubes with nutritional yeast, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until each piece is evenly coated.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a small parchment-lined baking sheet, toss the cherry tomatoes with a small drizzle of the olive oil and the lemon zest.
Roast the tomatoes for 12-15 minutes until they are blistered and begin to burst.
While the tomatoes roast, heat the remaining olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the tofu cubes to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until all surfaces are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the tofu from the heat and plate it alongside the warm roasted tomatoes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
