Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a parchment-lined baking tray.
  2. Grate the super firm tofu using the largest holes of a box grater and spread it evenly onto the prepared baking tray.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, coriander, fennel seeds, allspice, white pepper, tamari, liquid smoke, and a drizzle of oil. Toss the grated tofu in the mixture.
  4. Bake the tofu for 15 minutes, toss gently, then return it to the oven for an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. While baking, combine avocado, fresh herbs, grated garlic, lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt in a bowl and mash until creamy.
  6. Assemble your sandwich by spreading avocado mixture on an English muffin half, topping with smoky shredded tofu and vegetables, then close with the other half.
  7. Wrap each sandwich tightly in parchment paper and foil to store in the fridge.
  8. To reheat, unwrap and place in a toaster oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
