Recipe Questions & Answers
- → How do I press tofu for this dish?
Place tofu block between clean towels and weigh it down with a heavy object for 10–15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
- → Can I substitute the tofu with another protein?
Yes, tempeh or canned chickpeas work well. Adjust baking time to ensure golden texture and even roasting.
- → What can I use instead of soy sauce for gluten-free options?
Use tamari, a gluten-free alternative, for similar flavor without gluten content.
- → Which vegetables work best in this wrap?
Bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes roast beautifully, but feel free to add mushrooms or broccoli.
