Carrot and tofu ricotta bake

This Carrot and Tofu Ricotta Bake is a deliciously healthy and protein-packed dish that’s perfect for any meal. Combining the earthiness of carrots and the creamy texture of tofu, this bake is both satisfying and nutritious. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

14 oz tofu
400g
1 tbsp lemon juice
16g
1 tsp dried basil
2.10g
1.50 tbsp yeast
10g
1 garlic clove
3g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 carrots
70g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Tofu:
Drain the tofu and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Then crumble the tofu into a large mixing bowl.
3. Blend the Ingredients:
Add the lemon juice, dried basil, nutritional yeast, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the crumbled tofu. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. This mixture will serve as your tofu ricotta.
4. Grate the Carrot:
Peel and grate the carrot using a box grater or a food processor. Add the grated carrot to the tofu mixture and mix until everything is well incorporated.
5. Transfer to Baking Dish:
Lightly grease a baking dish with a small amount of olive oil. Spoon the tofu and carrot mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
6. Bake:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is firm to the touch.
7. Cool and Serve:
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into portions and serve warm.

Tips:

- Press the tofu before starting to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a better texture.

- Grate the carrot finely to ensure it mixes well with the tofu ricotta.

- Adjust the seasoning (salt and pepper) to taste, especially if you're sensitive to salt.

- Line your baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleaning easier.

- Let the bake rest for a few minutes after removing it from the oven to allow it to set and make slicing easier.

There you have it, a warm and tantalizing Carrot and Tofu Ricotta Bake! This dish not only brings a wholesome flavor but also packs a nutritious punch. Serve it as a main dish or a hearty side and relish the healthy goodness. Enjoy!
