How to Prepare Chickpea Tofu With Tahini Sauce [Vegan]

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, combine all the chickpea tofu ingredients with 3/4 cup of water and mix well.
  2. Line a baking pan (I used a 5-inch by 7–inch pan) with parchment paper, and pour in the batter.
  3. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Remove from the oven, let cool completely and cut into bite-size pieces.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together the tahini sauce ingredients and 2 tablespoons of water (add more water if the tahini is too thick).
  6. Serve the chickpea tofu on a bed of arugula, topped with the tahini sauce.
