Ingredients
- 16 ounces block of extra firm tofu sliced ½-inch thick
- 1 Tablespoon of olive oil
- Generous pinch of dried oregano to taste
- ¼ cup of Sunflower Seed Pesto
- ~6 slices of tomato
- 4 butter lettuce leaves (or any lettuce you have on hand)
- 4 slices of sandwich bread
Instructions
- Drizzle the tofu slices with olive oil and sprinkle with the dried oregano.
- Roast in a 375 degrees F oven for 15 minutes.
- Once the tofu is done, assemble your sandwich. Spread one tablespoon of pesto on each slice of the sandwich, then place the lettuce, tomato, and tofu.
Notes
- Crispier tofu: If you prefer your tofu a bit crispier, try slicing it into thinner slices and flip it over halfway through the cooking time.
- Use the right tofu: While you might be able to get away with using firm tofu instead of extra firm tofu, silken tofu varieties definitely won’t work when making this pesto tofu sandwich recipe.
