  • 2 ounces roasted red peppers
  • 3 ounces organic shredded carrots
  • Carrot slaw dressing (coconut aminos - coconut vinegar - sesame oil)

Chef's Tip

Rinsing the potato slices under cold water removes excess starch from the surface, which prevents them from sticking to one another and to the sheet pan. Pat dry with a paper towel before seasoning and roasting. Using a sheet pan large enough to spread the potatoes in a single layer helps ensure even cooking (we recommend a pan about 17 by 12 inches). A stainless-steel pan is best if you have one; a darker metal pan will speed the browning, so give the potatoes an extra stir or two as they roast.

Grill It

Prepare a medium-hot fire in a grill. Set the tofu burgers on the grill directly over the heat and cook, turning once, until lightly browned and heated through, about 5 minutes per side.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Make the oven fries

Heat the oven to 425°F.
  • Scrub or peel the potatoes. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut each half lengthwise into ¼-inch-thick slices. Rinse the potato slices under cold water to remove excess starch. Pat dry with a paper towel.
On a sheet pan, drizzle the potatoes with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil; season generously with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread in an even layer and roast, turning once halfway through, until tender, golden brown, and starting to crisp, 20 to 25 minutes.
While the potatoes roast, prepare the rest of the meal.

2

Toast the sesame seeds

In a dry large frying pan over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds, stirring often, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool. Do not clean the pan.

3

Prep the peppers; make the carrot slaw

  • Scrape off any seeds from the roasted red peppers; coarsely chop any large pieces. Set aside for the burgers.
In a medium bowl, toss together the carrots, slaw dressing, and sesame seeds. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

4

Cook the burgers; toast the buns

In the same pan used for the sesame seeds, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the tofu burgers and cook, turning once, until lightly browned and heated through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.
In the same pan used for the burgers, place the buns, cut sides down, and cook over medium-high heat until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Alternatively, toast them in a toaster oven.

5

Assemble the burgers

Place the bun bottoms, cut sides up, on a work surface. Set the burgers on the buns, slather with as much sambal mayo as you like, and top with the peppers, carrot slaw, and arugula. Close with the bun tops.

Serve

Transfer the burgers to individual plates. Serve the oven fries and any remaining sambal mayo on the side.
