Ingredients:

1 block extra-firm tofu

1/2 cup vegan yogurt (Greek-style preferred)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

2 cloves garlic, grated

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp dried dill

1 tsp dried oregano

Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

Mix the Marinade:

In a bowl, combine the vegan yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, grated garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, dill, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.

Prepare the Tofu:

Take the tofu out of its packaging and press it to remove excess moisture. Pat it dry on all sides, then break it into bite-sized chunks using your hands. This rough texture helps the marinade stick better.

Marinate:

Gently toss the tofu chunks in the marinade until they are fully coated.

Bake to Perfection:

Lay the marinated tofu pieces on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, making sure they don’t overlap. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 30 minutes or until the tofu turns golden brown and chewy.

Serve & Savor:

Enjoy this marinated tofu as a star ingredient in your favorite salad, or wrap it up in a burrito or a vegan pita. It’s a versatile and delicious addition to any meal!
