Ingredients

10 oz (300 g) firm tofu
2 tablespoon (30 g) roasted garlic and herb seasoning
1 teaspoon (5 g) basil
1 teaspoon (5 g) oregano
1 large bell pepper
1 avocado sliced
1 handful Sprouts or other greens
4 slices sourdough or other bread

Instructions

Baking tofu

Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F.
Drain tofu block and cut into 4 thick slices. Pat each slice dry with a clean, lint free towel or paper towels.
10 oz firm tofu
Season slices completely with the roasted garlic and herb seasoning, basil and oregano. Apply light pressure to get some seasoning into the grooves of the tofu without breaking it up.
2 tablespoon roasted garlic and herb seasoning, 1 teaspoon basil, 1 teaspoon oregano
Add the tofu to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

Roasting the Bell Pepper in the oven

Put the whole pepper on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. They can also be placed next to the tofu. Place in the oven for at least 30 minutes.
1 large bell pepper
Bake until the skin is wrinkled and looks charred. Turn twice while it’s roasting.
Once done, peel off the wrinkled and charred skin and remove the stem.
Slice to serve.

Fire-roasting the bell pepper on the stovetop

Set the bell pepper on your gas stove.
Turn your burner on to the highest setting. Make sure the pepper is directly on the flame.
Allow the pepper to char completely on the outside, turning with a pair of tongs until all of it is blackened.
Remove the pepper from the flame and allow it to cool.
Peel off the charred skin, remove the stem then slice.

4 slices sourdough or other bread
