LEMON PEPPER TOFU CUTLETS



Lemon Pepper Tofu Cutlets image

These Lemon Pepper Tofu Cutlets are the perfect meal prep staple! Frozen + thawed tofu is sliced and soaked in a bath of zesty lemon pepper flavor. Then, they're slow-baked to achieve that perfect meaty texture. Slice 'em up for salads, use them for sandwiches, or serve 'em over a mountain of rice for a filling and easy vegan dinner!

Provided by Brittany Roche

Yield 8 cutlets

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (16-oz) block extra-firm tofu (do not use silken tofu)
1/3 cup olive oil (see notes for oil-free)
2 Tbsp vegan chicken-style bouillon powder
1 lemon, zested
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp ground black pepper

Steps:

  • PREP THE TOFU: First, you'll want to freeze your tofu. Place the whole container (do not open it) in the freezer overnight. In the morning, remove it from the freezer and set it in a shallow dish on your counter to thaw. This will take several hours. When the tofu is thawed, squeeze it gently over the sink and press it with a tofu press or on paper towels to remove any excess liquid.
  • MARINATE: Place your tofu on a cutting board and slice it into 8 equal "cutlets." Use a fork to mix all the marinade ingredients in a large measuring cup. Place the cutlets in a shallow container and pour the marinade over them, making sure each cutlet is coated. Cover and place them in your fridge for at least an hour or overnight.*
  • BAKE: When you're ready to bake your cutlets, preheat your oven to 350F and grab a large baking sheet. Place the cutlets on this baking sheet and bake them at 350F for 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Depending on the thickness / brand of tofu you're using, you may want to flip and cook them another 10 - 20 minutes until they are browned and meaty. We end up cooking ours an extra 10 most times.
  • SERVE: Finally, let your cutlets cool slightly before slicing them up for all your salads or pasta or bowls throughout the week. They will firm a bit as they cool. You can store them in an air-tight container in the fridge or freeze them for up to 8 weeks!
