Ingredients
Scale
For the Tofu and Marinade
- 14 oz extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 3.5 oz cherry tomatoes, halved
Tahini-Yogurt Sauce
- 1/2 cup unsweetened plant-based yogurt
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Wraps and Garnish
- 4 whole wheat wraps or pita breads (substitute gluten-free if required)
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce or tamari, olive oil, lemon juice, and smoked paprika until fully combined to create a flavorful marinade for the tofu.
- Marinate Tofu: Add the pressed and cubed tofu into the marinade, gently tossing to coat all pieces evenly. Let the tofu marinate for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Arrange and Roast: Spread the marinated tofu cubes and all the prepared vegetables (diced red bell pepper, zucchini, sliced red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes) evenly on the lined baking tray. Roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, turning the tofu and vegetables halfway through the cooking time, until the tofu is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.
- Prepare Sauce: While the tofu and vegetables roast, whisk together the unsweetened plant-based yogurt, tahini, minced garlic, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. This creamy sauce will add tang and richness to the wraps.
- Warm and Fill Wraps: Warm the whole wheat or gluten-free wraps or pita breads to make them pliable. Fill each wrap with the roasted tofu and vegetables, then drizzle or spread the tahini-yogurt sauce over the filling. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for added freshness and color.
- Serving: Serve the wraps immediately for the best texture and flavor, ensuring the tofu is crisp and the vegetables are warm and tender.
Notes
- Pressing the tofu removes excess moisture, which helps it crisp up better when roasted.
- You can substitute soy sauce with tamari to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Feel free to add or substitute vegetables based on seasonality or personal preference.
- The tahini-yogurt sauce can be adjusted for thickness by adding water if desired.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle additional nutritional yeast on top of the wraps before serving.
