Ingredients
- 1 block (14 ounces) firm tofu, drained and pressed
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 whole wheat sandwich rolls
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the pressed tofu into 1/2-inch thick slabs.
- In a bowl, mix together the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over both sides of the tofu slabs.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu slabs and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Place the cooked tofu slabs on top of the sauce.
- Spoon more marinara sauce over each tofu slab, then sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- While the tofu is baking, lightly toast the sandwich rolls.
- Assemble the sandwiches by placing a cheesy tofu slab on each roll. Add fresh basil leaves if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add crushed red pepper flakes to the marinara sauce.
- Substitute the whole wheat rolls with gluten-free rolls or lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.
