For a deeper flavor, sauté the chopped onion and garlic in a little olive oil before adding them to the tofu mixture. If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit more bread crumbs to help bind the ingredients. These meatballs are delicious served with marinara sauce over pasta, or as part of a meatball sub.

01 Step
Recipe View Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Thoroughly press the extra-firm tofu to remove excess water. This is crucial for achieving the right texture. Place tofu onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for 15 minutes to drain excess water. Break tofu into small pieces and squeeze again to remove as much water as possible. (20 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View In a large bowl, combine the crumbled tofu, chopped onion, beaten egg, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, basil, marjoram, rosemary, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, hot sauce (if using), and minced garlic. Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. (5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Lightly drizzle some olive oil on the prepared baking sheet. Form tablespoonfuls of the tofu mixture into small balls using your hands. Arrange the meatballs in rows on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Drizzle the remaining olive oil evenly over the meatballs. (10 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the meatballs are nicely browned and firm to the touch. Flip halfway through for even browning. (30 minutes)
