Indulge in this aromatic, plant-based dish featuring herb-crusted tofu, complemented by garlic-infused zucchini noodles for a fresh and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 4-6 oz tofu, sliced
  • 2 medium zucchinis, spiralized
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 avocado, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix basil, parsley, oregano, black pepper, and salt.
  3. Gently press tofu slices to remove excess moisture, then coat them with the herb mixture on both sides.
  4. Place the coated tofu on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden and firm.
  5. While the tofu is baking, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Add spiralized zucchini and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until just tender.
  7. Squeeze lemon juice over the zucchini noodles and stir in cherry tomatoes.
  8. Serve the herb-crusted tofu over the garlic-infused zucchini noodles, and garnish with sliced avocado.
