Instructions
- 1Place the tofu between paper towels and weigh it down for at least 20 minutes. The more water you remove, the more marinade the tofu will be able to absorb.
- 2In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, chopped garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir until the ingredients combine into a thick marinade.
- 3Cut the pressed tofu into 1 cm thick slices or cubes. Pour the marinade over it, making sure every piece is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer for a fuller flavor).
- 4Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and arrange the tofu on it in a single layer.
- 5Bake for 25 minutes, turning the tofu halfway through. It should be golden-brown and have slightly crispy edges when done.
- 6Before serving, sprinkle the tofu with fresh parsley and, if desired, drizzle with additional lemon juice.
