๐ Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 block of extra firm tofu
- 1 teaspoon roasted cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup salsa
Instructions:
-
Marinate the Tofu: Start by marinating your extra firm tofu. Cut the tofu block into slices or triangles, depending on your preference. In a shallow dish, mix together the roasted cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and salsa. Place the tofu slices in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 30 minutes to soak up all those delicious flavors.
-
Preheat the Skillet: While the tofu is marinating, heat a lightly greased skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. This step ensures that your tofu gets a nice golden crust when you cook it.
-
Saute the Tofu: Once the tofu has finished marinating, carefully transfer the slices to the preheated skillet. Cook the tofu for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the tofu slices are cooked to perfection, remove them from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of extra salsa if desired. These Cajun Tofu Slices are best served hot and crispy, alongside your favorite side dishes or as a flavorful addition to salads or sandwiches.
