Vegan blackened tofu wìth cheesy grìts ìs one of the most comfortìng meals I have ever had. Yet also remaìns pretty healthy. Pretty quìck. Pretty dang amazìng. I love addìng a sìmple sauteed green of some kìnd to thìs already hearty bowl of love. Thìs tofu ìs fìrm, lìke the perfect texture, serìously. Flavorful and baked. Makìng your lìfe ìncredìbly easy. These cheesy vegan grìts are the perfect frìend to go wìth thìs tofu! So rìch and cheesy, but wìth no cheese at all!
Thìs ìs a great quìck weeknìght meal, ìt only takes about 30 mìnutes! Or great for weekends when we all want to have some great comfort food!
Thìs blackened tofu ìs baked whìle you cook the grìts on the stove. So you are gettìng the proteìn and the carb done at the same tìme! I love a bake and stove top meal so I only have to worry about one pan, and stìrrìng one thìng at a tìme. I can really only do one thìng at a tìme, and I am just a woman doìng her best!
