- Grind spices (for the marinade) & garlic in a pestle and mortar, mix with olive oil + lemon juice, until well combined. Brush the marinade over the thinly sliced tofu. Marinate 1–2 hrs (or overnight for max flavour).
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Prepare a baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange the tofu across the tray, with space between each piece. Bake for 20 mins, turning halfway through.
- Add all the ingredients for the yogurt sauce in a bowl and mix well. Adjust flavourings, you may need a little more salt or lemon juice. Add a little maple syrup if you like a sweeter touch.
- To serve, lay out a flatbread, spoon 2-3 tbsp of yogurt sauce, and spread across the flatbread. Add the salad, crispy tofu and finish off with some fresh herbs and sriracha. Enjoy x
