Frequently Asked Questions

Shredding pressed, extra firm tofu gives it a unique, meaty texture that’s great for filling sandwiches, wraps, bowls, and more. Shredding also increases the tofu’s surface area, which allows it to take on even more flavor from the amazing cilantro lime marinade. I pair it with these easy flavor packed Roasted carrots that you can serve up as a bowl topped with seeds and fresh herbs.

If you don’t want to use tofu, you can use cooked rice instead for a delicious bowl meal!

I’m using tajin in this recipe to season both the tofu and the roasted carrots. Tajin gives this nice tang to the overall flavor profile. If you don’t like that much tang from the tajin, you can use Cajun spice or a different spice blend, like chili powder, curry powder, Jamaican curry powder, or whatever spice mix you like.

The carrots for this recipe have been cut into a diagonal shape to give them more surface area for roasting. And they pair so well with the tangy, shredded tofu! You can serve this dish in many different ways. I love how versatile this pairing is.

To make the shredded tofu into a bowl meal, serve it with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and hemp seeds or top with chopped walnuts or pecans. For the sandwich version, just pile the carrots and the shredded tofu onto your bread of choice, add some a creamy dip or some hummus to the bread, and it makes an absolutely delicious brunch or lunch. You can also add these to a wrap or lettuce wrap and top with some lime juice, cilantro, and more seeds.

No matter how you serve this flavor-packed cilantro lime shredded tofu, you are going to just love it!

If you prefer a creamy tomato soup, add a handful of cashews or pumpkin seeds in while blending, or use white beans for creaminess plus some protein. This is a simple and versatile tomato soup. Use spices and herbs of choice for variation.

I love this spiced tomato soup with a vegan grilled cheese to go with it. Or, you can cut the sandwich into bite-sized croutons and float them in the bowl!
