Ingredients
  

  • ½ block (8 ounces/227g) super firm tofu *see note
  • 1 ½ tablespoons (7g) nutritional yeast
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon dried parsley
  • cup (42g) vegan mozzarella shreds
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) nondairy milk, unsweetened and unflavored
  • Scant ½ cup (100g) tomato 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 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 nutritional yeast, garlic power, onion powder, salt, paprika, and 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 sauce pan add the vegan mozzarella and nondairy milk. Cook over low heat stirring occasionally until cheese is melted down and liquid.
  • Once tofu is done baking remove from oven. Spread sauce over tofu pieces and then add vegan mozzarella.
  • 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.

Notes

  • *note for tofu: due to human error when I cut the tofu in half it weighted about 9.3 ounces/264g
  • Vegan parmesan used is Go Veggie
  • Nondairy milk used is Ripple
  • Vegan mozzarella shreds used is 365 whole foods
  • I would say this is 2 to 3 servings - depends on how hungry you are, and what else you are serving this with.
