Step 1

Press the tofu. For best results, press the tofu using a tofu press or warp the tofu in paper towels and place it between two plates. Place something heavy on the top plate to weigh it down. For quicker pressing, cut the tofu into quarters first. Press for at least 15 minutes.

Step 2

Pre-heat the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 C.). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 3

Make the burger mixture. Crumble the tofu into tiny pieces directly into a mixing bowl. Then add the rest of the ingredients except the chickpea flour. Use your hands to mix the ingredients and break up large pieces of tofu.

Step 4

Add chickpea flour. Add the chickpea flour to the burger mixture. Test that you can form a patty by forming a ball of the mixture. Use additional flour if necessary. You should be able to form a ball that holds together.

Step 5

Make tofu patties. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts. Form patties that are about 1/2 - 5/8 of an inch thick. Too thick, and they won’t cook in the middle.

Step 6

Bake. Place the patties on the baking tray and place the tray on the center rack of your oven. Bake the patties for 20 minutes until they start to brown and firm up. Flip them and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

Step 7

Serve. Tofu burgers are great on a bun with your favorite fixings or over heaps of salad.
