Ingredients

• 6 slices Whole-grain sandwich bread
• 200 grams Firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Hummus (store-bought or homemade, nut-free)
• 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
• 1 large Tomato
• 0.5 large Cucumber
• 0.25 medium Red onion
• 1 medium Avocado
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the tofu. Drain the tofu and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel. Cut it into 1/4-inch thick slices.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Brush both sides of the tofu slices with the seasoned olive oil mixture.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the tofu slices for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Set aside to cool.

Step 5

Toast the bread slices to your desired level of crispiness.

Step 6

While the bread is toasting, slice the tomato, cucumber, red onion, and avocado into thin, even slices.

Step 7

Lay the toasted bread slices on a clean working surface. Spread a thin layer of hummus on one side of all six slices.

Step 8

To assemble the first layer, place spinach leaves on two of the bread slices. Top with slices of tomato and cucumber.

Step 9

Add another slice of toasted bread on top of each stack, hummus side up. Layer with cooked tofu slices, red onion slices, and avocado.

Step 10

Top each sandwich with a lettuce leaf and finish with the final slice of toasted bread, hummus side facing down.

Step 11

Carefully press the sandwich together and use a sharp knife to slice each sandwich diagonally into two triangles.

Step 12

Secure each half with a sandwich pick or toothpick, if desired, to hold it together.

Step 13

Serve immediately and enjoy your nut-free veggie club sandwich!
