Baked Pesto Tofu Herb-Infused Baked Tofu with Homemade Basil Pesto Ingredients: 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cut into 1-inch cubes 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves 2 tablespoons pine nuts (or walnuts) 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast 1 garlic clove 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 2 tablespoons lemon juice 3 tablespoons olive oil Optional: cherry tomatoes or roasted red peppers for garnish Directions: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Press tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into cubes. In a food processor, combine basil, pine nuts, nutritional yeast, garlic, salt, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend until smooth to create pesto. In a bowl, gently toss tofu cubes with the pesto until fully coated. Spread tofu cubes on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and slightly crispy. Serve warm with rice, pasta, or a fresh salad. Garnish with cherry tomatoes or roasted red peppers, if desired.
