Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 15 oz. extra firm tofu ((drained and pressed))
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • salt as per taste
  • 8 slices whole grain bread
  • vegan thousand island dressing
  • red bean hummus
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1 tomato ((see notes))
  • 1 medium avocado

Instruction

  • Preheat oven at 400-degree Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet with a parchment paper. Place tofu block between kitchen towels and put a heavy weight on it for at least 10 minutes. Drain the extra water and slice tofu length wise into 8 steak pieces (¼ inch thickness each). Keep it aside.
  • In a mixing bowl combine nutritional yeast, paprika, oregano, garlic powder and salt. Mix well.
  • Now, take a tofu slice in your hand and coat it well with the marinate from all side. It should be a thick coating. Turn the piece gently to all the six sides making sure its well covered with the marinate.
  • Place it immediately on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the above process with the rest of the tofu slices. Feel free to sprinkle leftover marinate if any on the slices.
  • Bake it in the middle rack of the oven for 20minutes. Take it out and with the help of the spatula release each tofu slice gently from the bottom without breaking. Then, with the help of the tongs flip all the slices to the other side. Make sure the marinate still sticks to them. Bake again for another 10 minutes. Turn it off and take it out. Let it cool for 5 minutes.
  • In the meanwhile, toast the bread and spread vegan thousand island dressing on one slice and hummus on the other slice. Place baby spinach on one slice and two tofu slices. Place chopped or sliced tomatoes followed by sliced avocado. Cover it with the other slice of toast. Press it a bit to make it form and cut with it into 2 halves with a bread knife and enjoy!
