Crispy BBQ Tofu Toast
Easy and quick crispy bbq tofu topped on a bed of cabbage slaw, a thick layer of creamy avocado, and toasted sourdough bread.
Ingredients
- 7 oz. extra-firm tofu
- 1 tbsp arrowroot or corn starch
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp coconut sugar
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ¼ cup bbq sauce
Cabbage Slaw
- ¼ head red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- ½ tsp salt
Other Additions
- Avocado
- Bread of choice (I recommend a crusty sourdough)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Wrap tofu block in a few paper towels. Place a plate on top then a heavy object to press it down. Let sit for 10 min. to allow excess water to drain. Wipe tofu dry. Cut into 4 slabs, then cut those slabs in half (see photos above for reference size). Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
In a small bowl, combine all spices (up to pepper). Sprinkle spice mix generously over tofu on both sides. Rub it in using your hands. Bake for 30 min. flipping half way through.
-
While tofu is baking, prepare the slaw. Toss the thinly sliced cabbage, vinegar, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside. Toast a few slices of bread, top each with ½ mashed avocado and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
-
Add tofu to a shallow bowl. Pour over bbq sauce and carefully stir to coat.
-
Assemble by topping each avocado toast with a bed of cabbage slaw and a few slices of the bbq tofu. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper and red pepper flakes.
