Save A vibrant, plant-based twist on popular viral recipes, swapping traditional cheeses or meats with tofu and other vegan alternatives for a delicious, satisfying meal.
I was inspired to create this vegan remake after seeing how much my family enjoyed viral recipe videos, and wanted to offer a dairy-free version everyone could love.

Drain tofu and wrap it in a clean towel, then place a heavy object on top for 10–15 minutes to remove excess moisture.

Yes, tempeh or canned chickpeas work well. Marinate and roast them as directed for delicious results.
