Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
-
Place the tofu slices on a paper towel and gently press to remove excess moisture. Season both sides of the tofu slices with salt and pepper.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the dried oregano and basil. Sprinkle this herb mixture evenly over the tofu slices.
-
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the tofu slices and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
-
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place the tofu slices on top of the sauce in a single layer.
-
Top each tofu slice with a generous spoonful of marinara sauce, spreading it out to cover the tofu completely.
-
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce, followed by a dusting of grated Parmesan cheese.
-
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
-
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
-
Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
