Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces Firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 Tomato
- 0.5 Red onion
- 4 tablespoons Vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 12 Cucumber slices
Instructions
Cut the firm tofu into 8 slices, about 1/2 inch thick.
In a shallow dish, combine nutritional yeast, lemon juice, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Whisk together to form a marinade.
Place tofu slices in the marinade, ensuring each slice is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, flipping halfway.
While the tofu is marinating, prepare the vegetables: wash and dry the lettuce leaves, slice the tomato, and thinly slice the red onion.
In a small bowl, mix vegan mayonnaise and sriracha sauce to create a spicy mayo.
Heat a grill pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grill the marinated tofu slices for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown with grill marks.
Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
To assemble each burger, spread a tablespoon of spicy mayo on each half of the toasted bun. Layer with lettuce leaves, a couple of cucumber slices, a grilled tofu slice, tomato slices, and red onion slices.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve the vegan grilled halloumi burgers immediately.
