How to Make Amazing Tofu Parmesan

1. Press 14 oz extra-firm tofu: Cut tofu into 1/4-inch slices. Lay slices between several layers of paper towels. Place a cutting board or flat surface on top with a weight (e.g., books, cans) to press out excess moisture for 30 minutes.
2. Marinate the Tofu: Whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp olive oil, and 1 clove minced garlic. Add the pressed tofu slices and let marinate for 5 minutes.
3. Prepare the Coating: In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup nutritional yeast.
4. Coat the Tofu: Whisk 1 large egg in a separate shallow dish. Dip each tofu slice in the egg, then dredge in the flour/yeast mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
5. Cook the Tofu: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook tofu slices for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
6. Prepare the Baking Dish: In an 8x8 inch baking pan, spread 1/2 cup marinara sauce.
7. Assemble and Bake: Arrange the cooked tofu slices in the baking pan. Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over the tofu, then top with 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese.
8. Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
9. Serve: Serve immediately with a crisp salad or your favorite pasta. Enjoy!
