• 1 Piece Cucumber 1Pc
• - The Tofoo Co. Naked Tofu
• - Filippo Berio Garlic Flavoured Olive Oil
• - Tariq Halal Pepper & Jack Cheese

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. 2. Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1 cm thick slabs.
3. 3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and soy sauce.
4. 4. Coat the tofu slices evenly with the BBQ sauce mixture, ensuring all sides are covered. Place them on the prepared baking tray.
5. 5. Bake the tofu in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
6. 6. While the tofu is baking, slice the pepper jack cheese into thin slices and set aside. Toast the sub rolls lightly for 3 minutes in the oven or on a grill pan for extra crunch.
7. 7. Prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the red onion and cucumber, and shred the romaine lettuce.
8. 8. Once the tofu is baked, remove it from the oven and layer each sub roll with shredded lettuce, cucumber slices, and red onion.
9. 9. Add the baked BBQ tofu slices on top of the veggies, followed by the pepper jack cheese slices. Optionally, return the assembled subs to the oven for 2 minutes to melt the cheese slightly.
10. 10. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with fresh coriander or additional BBQ sauce drizzle for extra flavor.
