Ingredients
Za'atar Tofu
- 1 Block (15oz) Extra firm tofu
- 1 Tbsp. Olive oil
- 1 tsp. Oregano, dried
- 1 tsp. Sumac
- 1 tsp. Cumin
- 1 tsp. Sesame seeds
- 1/4 tsp. Salt
- 1/4 tsp. Black pepper
Herb Yogurt Sauce
- 5 oz. Plain non dairy yogurt

- 2 Tbsp. Parsley, chopped
- 1/2 tsp. Garlic powder
- 1 tsp. Agave syrup

Instructions
- You first want to press your tofu. Either with a tofu press, or by placing something heavy on top. Press for at least 15 minutes, but the longer the better.
- When you are ready to make the tofu, preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Then cut the tofu into cubes and place in a bowl. Drizzle the olive oil on top, then toss to coat the tofu.
- Then sprinkle in all the seasonings, and toss to coat all the tofu cubes in the spice mixture.
- Place all the tofu on a baking sheet, and bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until the tofu is all brown and firm and a bit crispy.
- While the tofu is baking, make the yogurt sauce. Add all the ingredients for the herb yogurt sauce to a small mixing bowl. Stir to combine everything. Then, taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside.
- Once the tofu is done, serve immediately with flat bread, drizzled with herb yogurt sauce!
