Ingredients

  • 1 block extra firm tofu
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley/basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 - 8 cups chopped greens

  • 1 cup chopped kalamata olives
  • 1 batch Lemon Herb Tahini Dressing

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
  • Slice the tofu into four equal steaks. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil. Sprinkle half the hers on top and rub this mixture over the tofu to evenly coat. Flip and repeat with remaining oil and spices.
  • Bake for 35 - 40 minutes, flipping halfway through until tofu is golden brown and crispy. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes.
