Roasted Veggie Tofu Stacks
From C&J Nutrition [1]
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cubed firm tofu
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 medium tomato, sliced
3 tablespoons finely chopped carrot
4 1/4-inch slices of eggplant (sliced widthwise)
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450ºF.
- Mash tofu with a fork until it resembles crumbs. Mix with garlic, salt, cumin, and 2 teaspoons olive oil and set aside. Heat remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat and cook eggplant until golden on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
- Place one slice of eggplant onto a parchment-lined baking dish and top with a slice of tomato, 1 tablespoon of carrot, and 1/3 of the tofu mixture. Layer on another piece of eggplant and continue this process of layers until you end with the final slice of eggplant. Think of it like a mini lasagna.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and bake until eggplant has a buttery texture, about 45 minutes. Serve over 1/2 cup cooked quinoa.
