- 500 g carrots
For the Tofu Steaks
- 1 block extra firm tofu
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp water
- ½ cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp sage
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp steak spice
- 1 tsp cornstarch
For Nutritional Yeast Gravy
- ½ cup olive oil
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp curry powder
- 1.5 tbsp soy sauce
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2.5 cups water
Instructions
- First, start by peeling your potatoes and chopping them into halves or quarters; depending on size, you want them to all be about equal in size.
- Boil your potatoes for 5 minutes then add in your Brussels sprouts and boil both for another 5 minutes. Strain and set the Brussels sprouts aside.
- Place your potatoes in a strainer and toss the potatoes around to make the exterior nice and fluffy.
- Place your potatoes on a corner of your baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tbsp of olive oil and a generous amount of salt, and bake at 400f for 20 minutes.
- While the potatoes cook, chop up your parsnips and carrots. Slice lengthwise and chop them into about 2-inch-long halves.
- Prepare your tofu. Slice into strips or triangles. In one bowl, add soy sauce and water. In another, add your nutritional yeast and spices.
- Dunk your tofu into the soy sauce mix, then into the spice mix.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven, add the vegetables and coated tofu, and bake for an additional 45-55 minutes.
- While everything cooks, make your nutritional yeast gravy. Heat your oil, then slowly whisk in your flour. Add in the rest of your ingredients and whisk over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until thickened.
- Drizzle over your holiday feast and enjoy!
