Maple Dijon Baked Tofu Sandwich

This vegan Maple Dijon Baked Tofu Sandwich is quick and easy. The tofu is crispy on the outside while staying soft on the inside. 

Early on in my blogging career I figured out that my favorite flavor combination is sweet and spicy. I also found that I love to make healthy swaps in recipes – like cauliflower rice, cucumber and zucchini noodles, or nori wraps.

Even though I’ve been a foodie for awhile, I hadn’t created as many recipes in my whole life as I have in the past 4 years of blogging. So I didn’t have a cooking style or point of view like I do now.

This Maple Dijon Baked Tofu Sandwich is in the ballpark to the sweet and spicy profile, but on a much, much milder level.

I’ve had some Dijon mustards that are quite spicy, and others that are pretty mild. The one I used for this vegan sandwich was on the milder side.

Baking tofu is a great way to get it crispy on the outside while remaining soft on the outside. It’s also very hands-off.

You can do other things while your tofu is baking, making it the perfect recipe to make on a weeknight. Add it a salad, Buddha bowl, or sandwich.

For this easy vegan sandwich, I made a maple Dijon spread to compliment the flavors of the tofu. Add some sliced avocado, roasted red pepper, or whatever suits your fancy.

It is Northern Bakehouse millet chia bread. I highly recommend it.
