Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
    Wash and dry all produce.
  • Thinly slice mushroom caps and stems into 1/2-inch slices.
  • To a large bowl, juice half the lemon (use whole lemon for 4 servings). Add Caesar dressing. Season with pepper, then whisk to combine. 
  • Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
Cook mushrooms
2
  • On an unlined baking sheet, arrange mushrooms. 
  • Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, the half the garlic salt and pepper. Toss to combine. 
  • Bake in the middle of the oven for 6-8 min, flipping halfway through, until fork-tender.
Prep tofu
3
  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
  • Cut tofu in half, parallel to the cutting board. Pat tofu dry with paper towels.
  • Season all sides with salt and pepper.
  • To a shallow dish, add breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
  • Spread mayo all over tofu.
  • Working with one piece of tofu at a time, press both sides into breadcrumbs to coat completely.
Sear tofu
4
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Sear for 1 min per side, until tofu is golden all over. (TIP: For 4 servings, cook tofu in 2 batches, using 1 tbsp oil for each batch.) 
  • Transfer to one side of a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Make garlic croutons and finish tofu
5
  • Cut buns into 1-inch pieces.
  • To the parchment-lined baking sheet, add bun pieces beside tofu, and toss bun pieces with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt and pepper.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 5-6 min. Stir croutons and flip tofu once halfway through, until croutons are lightly golden and tofu is cooked through.
  • Once tofu is cooked through, season with salt.
Finish and serve
6
  • Slice crispy tofu into 1/4-inch slices.
  • To the bowl with lemony Caesar dressing, add mushrooms, croutons, spinach and Parmesan.
  • Toss to combine.
