Carb Smart Almond Tofu

with Green Veggies and Lemony Mayo

In a dish inspired by Parmesan chicken, tender tofu is topped with a Parmesan crust, and we've swapped breadcrumbs out for almonds to keep those carbs low. A tumble of garlicky green veggies is always a good idea.

Carb Smart (50 g carbohydrates or less) is based on a per serving calculation of the recipe's carbohydrate amount.

Instructions

Toast almonds
1
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • When hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!)
  • Transfer to a plate to cool.
Prep
2
  • While toasted almonds cool, halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half-moons.
  • Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Add half the lemon zest, 1 tsp (2 tsp) lemon juice and 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) mayo to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Make topping and prep tofu
3
  • Finely chop toasted almonds.
  • Add toasted almonds, Dijon, remaining lemon zest and remaining mayo to another small bowl. Season with pepper, then stir to combine. 
  • Pat tofu dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.) Using a fork, poke tofu all over.
  • Season with pepper and half the garlic salt.
Cook tofu
4
  • Reheat the same pan (from step 1) over medium-high. 
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Sear until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side. 
  • Transfer to an unlined baking sheet. Spread Parmesan-almond topping onto tofu. 
  • Roast in the top of the oven until golden, 8-10 min.
Cook veggies
5
  • While tofu roasts, reheat the same pan over medium.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then broccoli, zucchini and 2 tbsp water. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook veggies in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1 tbsp oil and 2 tbsp water per batch!)
  • Season with pepper and remaining garlic salt.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp, 5-6 min.
Finish and serve
6
  • Thinly slice tofu.
  • Divide tofu and veggies between plates.
  • Serve lemony mayo on the side for dipping.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.

If you've opted to get tofu, pat dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.) Using a fork, poke tofu all over. Season tofu in the same way the recipe instructs you to season the chicken breasts.
