Baked Tofu
November 22, 2017
Baked tofu has the extraordinary ability to take on various textures and absorb taste from seasonings, perfect for creating a healthy dish without compromising on flavor.
Easy to prepare for lunch packs when going to school or work, tofu is a good source of high quality plant protein. Even better, it’s zero cholesterol! You can add it to salads, in a sandwich, or white rice and veggies.
