Okay, real talk - this is hands down the BEST tofu recipe you will ever try!! It's got a delicious crispy coating and tender and juicy on the inside - it's just perfect! This tofu parmesan recipe actually tastes like real Parmesan crusted chicken recipes and it's all thanks to my homemade vegan parmesan cheese - none of that store bought stuff. This oil free & gf tofu parmesan recipe DEFINITELY needs to be on your 'to eat' list. ------------------------------------ Ingredients: GF spaghetti noodles 1 jar of your favorite marinara sauce 1 block extra firm tofu 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any non dairy milk of your choice) 1/2 cup corn flour (or corn starch/tapioca flour) 3/4 GF breadcrumbs 1/4 cup homemade parmesan cheese For the parmesan cheese: 1 cup whole cashews 1/4 cup nutritional yeast 2 tbsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp salt Instructions: 1.Preheat oven to 400º F 2. Make the parmesan cheese - add the cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and salt to a food processor and pulse until it reaches a fine powder like texture. Keep 1/4 cup of the parmesan cheese aside for the recipe - store the rest in an air tight jar. 3. Before you cut, you need to press your tofu - either use a tofu press or you can place your tofu brick in a thin kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top of it for 35-40 mins. 4. Cut your tofu in your desired shape - I cut them in fillet shapes. I cut them horizontally in thirds and then with the tip of my knife, I cut out the 'fillet' shape. 5. Add 1/4 cup of the parmesan cheese we just made into the bread crumbs and mix well to incorporate. 6. Have a baking sheet lined with parchment paper ready 7. In 3 bowls add corn flour in the first bowl, almond milk in the second bowl, and the parmesan bread crumbs in the third bowl 8. Take one tofu fillet and coat it in the corn flour, tap off any excess and then dip into the almond milk, finally coat it in the parmesan bread crumbs mixture. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and repeat for the remainder of the tofu 9. Bake at 400º F for 25 minutes, flipping the tofu over about halfway 10. In the meantime, heat up your marinara sauce and cook your spaghetti noodles according to the package instructions. 11. When the tofu is done, it's time to assemble. Start by adding your spaghetti noodles with some marinara sauce, then add the parmesan tofu and pour some more marinara sauce over the tofu - sprinkle with some parmesan cheese and enjoy! ------------------------------------ *Other Crispy Tofu (all no fry and no oil) recipes you should check out* ~Crispy Buffalo Tofu Sticks:    • Crispy NO FRY Buffalo Tofu 'Wings' - ...   ~Vegan Butter 'chick'n with Tofu:    • Vegan Butter Chicken with Tofu | Vega...   ~Crispy Chili Tofu:    • NO FRY Crispy Chili Tofu | OIL FREE   ~Stir Fry Noodles with Crispy Garlic Tofu:    • Stir Fry Noodles with Crispy Garlic T...   ------------------------------------ **Products used in this video** Gluten Free Spaghetti: https://amzn.to/3nr2jvN Gluten Free Bread Crumbs: https://amzn.to/3iEzGHU Baking Sheets: https://amzn.to/30DhnNq Non stick Parchment paper: https://amzn.to/30FVVr7 8 cup Food Processor: https://amzn.to/2GoOSMA Organic Corn Flour: https://amzn.to/3d45ipg Organic Garlic Powder: https://amzn.to/3ddhDru Himalayan Pink Salt: https://amzn.to/30I70HU Royal Doulton Oval Platter: https://amzn.to/2Swk4eX Nutritional Yeast: https://amzn.to/3juqDuG Tofu Press: https://amzn.to/33AuqRl Whole Cashews(without added oil): https://amzn.to/34kt64f Pioneer Woman Spatulas: https://amzn.to/3kh6RT6 Glass Mixing Bowls: https://amzn.to/2DVN6RL ------------------------------------ **Equipment used for video recording & photography** Sony a6400 camera: https://amzn.to/3iGhRsy Sigma 16mm f/1.4 lens: https://amzn.to/2Y5fLKV Sony 18-135 Zoom Lens: https://amzn.to/3avrNCu Camera Monitor: https://amzn.to/3fVKYGF GorillaPod Tripod: https://amzn.to/31SHShv ------------------------------------ Stay connected with me :) Website: www.thesoulfulcook.com Youtube -    / thesoulfulcook   Facebook - www.facebook.com/simplylivingxthesoulfulcook Instagram - www.instagram.com/thesoulfulcook Twitter - @thesoulfulcook ------------------------------------ 0:00 Vegan Tofu Parmesan 0:20 Hi! from The Soulful Cook 1:26 Ingredients You'll Need 1:41 Homemade Vegan Parmesan Cheese 2:30 Press and Cut the Tofu 4:16 Baked Tofu Parmesan 6:51 See you next time! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **FTC: Some links mentioned above are affiliate, which means I earn a small commission if you buy a product from the specific link.
