Ingredients

Everything Bagel Seasoning Crusted

  • 1 package 14 oz. extra firm tofu
  • 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
  • 1-2 tbsp oil

Peanut Sauce

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Sambal oelek
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 1/2 inch ginger grated
  • 1/4 cup water as needed to thin out sauce

Wraps

  • 4-5 oz. Butterhead lettuce
  • 1/2 medium sweet potato spiralized
  • 3 radishes sliced
  • 1/4 cup crushed peanuts optional
  • 2 stalks green onion chopped optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 F.  
  • Remove tofu from packaging and press between paper towels to remove excess liquid. Carefully cut into 1/2 inch pieces.
  • You can leave the cut tofu out for 1 hour to let more of the liquid evaporate. The tofu should be fairly dry before baking to ensure it gets crispy.
  • Mix together everything bagel seasoning, cornstarch, and breadcrumbs in a small bowl. Set aside. 
  • Evenly coat tofu pieces with 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil. You can do this in a large bowl or in the tray you are baking it in, but I prefer to use a bowl and transfer the tofu after it is seasoned. 
  • Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning mixture over the tofu and gently toss until tofu is coated evenly with the seasoning mixture. Transfer to a baking sheet if you used a bowl.
  • Bake for 30 minutes until crispy. Flip after 20 minutes so all sides get nice and golden brown.
  • While the tofu is baking, blend all of the ingredients except for the water together for the peanut sauce.
  • The sauce will be a little thick at this point so you can slowly stream in 1/8 to 1/4 cup of water until the peanut sauce is smooth and pourable. 
  • Prepare toppings for lettuce wraps. You can store bought spiralized sweet potato noodles, or even roasted sweet potato in this recipe. 
  • Once the tofu is ready, assemble lettuce wraps with veggies and peanut sauce. Garnish with crushed peanuts and green onion if desired!
