Thanksgiving Tofu features crispy breaded tofu, made flavorful with seasonal herbs and nutty pecans. Baked herb tofu is a tasty vegan Thanksgiving dish!
Ingredients
- 2 16 Ounce Blocks Super Firm or Extra Firm Tofu
- ¾ Cup Cornstarch
- ¾ Cup Non-Dairy Milk
- ½ Cup Ground Pecans* or walnuts
- ½ Cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 Tablespoons Poultry Seasoning
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
- Mushroom Gravy to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Place the cornstarch in a shallow bowl. Place the non-dairy milk in a second shallow bowl.
- In a third shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, pecans, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Cut the tofu into 4 rectangles by slicing the block in half across the middle and then cutting each rectangle in half height-wise.
- Coat each piece of tofu in the cornstarch, then non-dairy milk, then breadcrumb mixture, pressing down gently on each side to help the breadcrumbs stick.
- Arrange on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Serve with mushroom gravy, if desired.
Notes
*If you keep your nuts in the freezer like I do, let them come to room temperature before grinding them into crumbs. Or toast them in a pan for a few minutes on medium-low heat, until they are warm.
