Ingredients
- 1 (14 ounce/497 gram) package extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed for at least 20 minutes
- ½ cup diced red onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ⅓ cup vegan barbecue sauce, plus more for serving
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Olive oil, for brushing (optional)
- 4 burger buns
- Toppings of choice, such as lettuce, tomato, sliced onion, and vegan mayo
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Break the block of tofu into a few pieces and place them into the bowl of a food processor fitted with an s-blade. Add the onion, garlic, barbecue sauce, flour, soy sauce, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt.
- Pulse the machine, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Continue until the ingredients are well mixed and finely chopped, but the mixture still has some texture to it.
- Shape the mixture into four patties, and arrange them on the baking sheet. Optionally, brush the tops with a bit of olive oil. This will help with browning, but isn't required.
- Bake the burgers for about forty minutes, until they've darkened slightly and crisped up a bit.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the patties rest on the baking sheet for ten minutes.
- Stuff the patties into buns and top with extra barbecue sauce and toppings of choice. Serve.
