Allergens

Ingredients

• 16 oz extra
• firm tofu
• 2 cups cauliflower rice (prepared)
• 2 cups creole gravy (vegan)
• 2 tbsp blackened seasoning blend
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Press the tofu for 20 minutes to remove excess water.
2. Slice the tofu into 8 equal pieces and coat with blackened seasoning.

4. Heat cauliflower rice according to package instructions or in the microwave.
5. Serve the blackened tofu atop the prepared cauliflower rice, and drizzle with creole gravy.

Chef’s Insight

Use a blend of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, white pepper, and black pepper to create the perfect blackened seasoning.

Notes

Tofu is an excellent source of plant-based protein, while cauliflower rice adds fiber and vitamins to this dish.
