This vegan Maple Dijon Baked Tofu Sandwich is quick and easy. The tofu is crispy on the outside while staying soft on the inside.
This Maple Dijon Baked Tofu Sandwich has the perfect balance of flavors. It's perfect for a brown bag lunch, picnic, or easy weeknight meal.
My favorite flavor combination is sweet and spicy. The tofu mustard marinade in this sandwich is in the ballpark of 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 the tofu 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 to 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 sliced avocado, roasted red pepper, or whatever suits your fancy.
