Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 3 tablespoons Hummus
- 100 grams Firm tofu
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 handful Baby spinach
- 1 medium, sliced Tomato
- 0.5 medium, sliced Cucumber
- 0.5 cup Alfalfa sprouts
- 0.5 medium, sliced Avocado
Instructions
Start by pressing the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Pat it dry with paper towels and slice it into thin slabs suitable for the sandwich.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Season the tofu slices with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
Pan-fry the tofu slices in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden and slightly crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread a generous layer of hummus on one side of each slice of whole grain bread.
On one slice of bread, layer the baby spinach, tomato slices, cucumber slices, alfalfa sprouts, avocado slices, and the cooked tofu.
Top with the second slice of bread, hummus side down, to form the sandwich.
Optional: Slice the sandwich in half for easier handling.
Serve immediately and enjoy your High Protein Ultimate Veggie Sandwich!
