The magic ingredient that sets apart any great vegan bowl is baked tofu. Chewy, crispy, flavorful and warm, this little nugget of joy is seasoned with flavorful Mexican spices and packs a punch of flavor. Food Blogger Ksenia Prints of At the Immigrant's Table loves putting together vegetarian bowls for lunch. The best way to add protein and texture to these bowls is with some baked tofu.
Tofu is delicious when deep fried, but we find that baking it yields a crispy exterior and a softer, chewier interior. Many baked tofu recipes involving store-bought marinades or lackluster flavor, but Prints wanted to find a way to make this vegetarian kitchen staple easier and tastier to make at home. Enter, her Mexican-inspired baked tofu recipe. With less than 10 ingredients and a baking time of 15 minutes, the recipe is made with natural and easy to find components.
"The trick to getting the most flavor and the best texture is marinating your tofu for longer," Prints says, so set aside some marinating time, and follow our easy recipe to ensure you have a regular supply of delicious baked tofu.
