Instructions

Step 1

Cut the tofu into 1 cm thick rectangles. Place them between two tea towels and press to remove the excess moisture. Cut diagonal slits across the top and bottom of the tofu for better absorption of the marinade.

Step 2

Combine the lemon juice and zest, Italian herbs seasoning, lemon myrtle (if using), baby capers and brine, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the tofu to this marinade, ensuring it's well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 400F/200C. Arrange the tofu pieces on a baking tray and drizzle half of the remaining marinade over them.

Step 4

Bake the tofu for 15 minutes. Then, flip the pieces over, brush them with the rest of the marinade, and bake for another 15 minutes. Your Herby Lemon Tofu is ready to enjoy!
