  • Garlic Dressing and/or Sweet and Spicy Tahini Dressing
  1. Mix all marinade ingredients in a medium bowl.
  2. Choose either Soy Curls or tofu cut into strips (press liquid out first) and toss with marinade. Store in an air-tight container for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  3. After marinating for at least 4 hours, remove marinated Soy Curls or tofu pieces from marinade and place on parchment-lined baking sheet, not overlapping.
  4. Roast at 375 for 25 minutes, stirring and flipping a few times to promote even roasting.
  5. While Soy Curls or tofu are roasting, make Garlic Dressing and/or Sweet and Spicy Tahini Dressing. Prep all other desired toppings, such as sliced tomatoes, chopped mint leaves, chopped green onions, and lettuce.
  6. Place some of the roasted Soy Curls or tofu on each of the lavash or pita bread rounds and top with desired ingredients.
