These bbq tofu bowls with avocado tahini dressing are such an easy plant based and vegan dinner. And you can have leftovers for lunch the next day! This dressing is super easy to make and really takes these bowls to the next level. You can also add a ranch, that would be tasty too! I added avocado, onion, corn, and tomatoes to these bowls as well. You could make these into wraps, tacos, so many options besides bowls. Add on top of a bowl of rice or quinoa too.
What You Need For This Recipe:
extra firm tofu
bbq sauce
nutritional yeast
salt
pepper
avocado
tahini
garlic powder
dill
lemon
water
Recipe Tips:
MAke sure you press your tofu beforehand. You don’t need a fancy tofu press, just using a heavy pan will do. What I do is wrap my tofu in towel, add it to a plate, and place a heavy pan on top. I’ll leave it like that for 15 minutes then get started with the recipe!
Dressing:
I made an avocado tahini dressing to go on these bbq tofu bowls. It takes less than 5 minutes to throw together so it’s perfect to make while the tofu is baking. Recipe for the dressing is at the bottom of this post! You need avocado, tahini, water, garlic powder, dill, lemon, and salt & pepper.
