Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Extra firm tofu
- 2 teaspoons Liquid smoke
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 slices Rye bread
- 2 pieces Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Fresh arugula
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture by wrapping it in a clean towel and placing a weight on top for about 10 minutes.
In a bowl, mix together liquid smoke, soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, and olive oil to create the marinade.
Slice the tofu into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Dip each tofu slice in the marinade, ensuring it is well-coated.
Place the marinated tofu slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the tofu slices for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time until they are slightly crispy.
While the tofu is baking, peel and pit the avocados, then place them in a bowl.
Add lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to the avocados and mash until smooth to create the avocado spread.
Toast the rye bread slices until golden brown.
Spread a generous amount of avocado on each toast slice.
Top each avocado-slathered toast with 2-3 slices of baked tofu 'ham'.
Finish by adding fresh arugula on top of the tofu slices.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Gourmet Ham Toast!
