Ingredients
  

Tofu Souvlaki

  • 400 g extra firm tofu
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • ½ tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ⅛ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp dill
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • Salt to taste
  • Squeeze of lemon
  • 3 tbsp vegetable broth

To Assemble Pitas

Instructions
 

  • First, start with your tofu souvlaki. The key to getting the juiciest chicken-like tofu is to bake/air fry, then pan-fry in the sauce.
  • Rip your pressed tofu into irregular shapes. It will better help them absorb the marinade.
  • Add them to a bowl with the rest of your seasonings. Use a spatula and gently mix so the tofu does not break apart.
  • Air fry at 400f for 12-15 minutes or bake at 400f for 35-40 minutes.
  • Once the tofu is crispy, add it to a pan over medium heat and add a big squeeze of lemon to your veggie broth. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes so the tofu soaks up the flavors. It will make our tofu super juicy, just like chicken!
  • While the tofu cooks, slice up your veggies, and if you are making, prepare the vegan tzatziki - recipe linked above in the recipe card!
  • Assemble your souvlaki pitas with your tofu, veggies, hummus, and tzatziki, and enjoy!
