Ingredients
 
 

  • ½ block super firm tofu 8 ounces*see note
  • 1 ½ tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon dried parsley
  • cup vegan mozzarella shreds
  • 3 tablespoons non-dairy milk, unsweetened and unflavored
  • ½ cup tomato or marinara sauce
  • spray oil for baking, optional
  • basil for garnish, optional
  • grated vegan parmesan for topping, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
  • Cut the ½ block super firm tofu into about ¼ inch thick slices. As many slices as you can make, I did 5. Do not cut tofu too thin. Do not pat the tofu dry, you want it to be wet so seasonings stick.
  • In a dish combine the 1 ½ tablespoons nutritional yeast ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon paprika and ¼ teaspoon dried parsley.
  • Coat each piece of tofu in seasonings and then place on lined baking sheet.
  • Spray with spray oil if you like and bake it oven for 13 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan add the ⅓ cup vegan mozzarella shreds and 3 tablespoons non-dairy milk, unsweetened and unflavored. Cook over low heat stirring occasionally until cheese is melted down and liquid.
  • Once tofu is done baking remove from oven. Spread ½ cup tomato or marinara sauce equally over tofu pieces and then add vegan mozzarella from stove.
  • Place back in oven and bake for 5 more minutes. If desired, you can broil on high for 2 minutes please watch carefully.
  • When it is done allow it to cool for 1 to 2 minutes before removing from pan.
  • Plate it up and add any garnishes or toppings you like, such as basil or grated vegan parmesan
