This easy Harissa Tofu recipe is my new favorite baked tofu recipe. Marinated in harissa sauce and spices, it is warm and comforting.
Eat it with rice or cauliflower rice. Add it to tacos, grain bowls, or pasta.
If you've never had harissa sauce before, it is a red pepper sauce with chiles and garlic. I used mild harissa sauce, but you can buy spicy as well.
Serve it with some Quinoa Tabbouleh, Spicy Cucumber Salad, or Hemp Seed Cauliflower Rice Pilaf.
Another recipe with harissa is my Harissa Hummus. Other baked tofu recipes are my Baked BBQ Tofu and my Baked Tofu Fries.
