Hearty Lentil and Vegetable Bake
Oven-baked casserole featuring protein-rich lentils and crumbled tofu mixed with vibrant vegetables in a savory, herb-infused tomato sauce that emerges bubbling and golden.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz firm tofu
0.5 cup cooked brown lentils
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 cup baby spinach
0.5 cup sliced mushrooms
0.5 cup diced red bell pepper
0.25 cup tomato puree
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.
Press the firm tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture, then crumble it into a large mixing bowl until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the cooked lentils, nutritional yeast, chopped baby spinach, sliced mushrooms, and diced red bell pepper to the bowl with the tofu.
Pour in the tomato puree and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed and coated in the tomato sauce.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down firmly with a spatula to create an even layer.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the casserole is set and the edges are slightly browned and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the structure to firm up.
