Dinner: Marinara Tofu Bake

From C&J Nutrition

INGREDIENTS

    • 1/3 of a 14-ounce block of extra-firm tofu, drained and sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick rectangles
    • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon oregano
    • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
    • 1/8 teaspoon salt
    • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1/2 cup sliced zucchini
    • 1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms
    • 3/4 cup marinara sauce

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

    2. Mix together ingredients from garlic powder through black pepper. Press each side of the tofu slices into the spice mixture.

    3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu slices and cook until nicely browned on each side, about 3 minutes each side. Remove tofu and set aside.

    4. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and 1/2 cup sliced zucchini and 1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms to the pan. Sauté until mushrooms and zucchini are soft and golden, about 5 minutes.

    5. Turn heat down to low and add tofu back to the pan, along with 3/4 cup no-sugar-added marinara sauce. Stir to combine.

    6. Bake for 10 minutes or until heated through.
