Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the Oven: Set it to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with a light brush of olive oil.
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, mustard, garlic, vinegar, and dill until well blended.
- Marinate the “Chicken”: Add seitan or tofu, toss until coated, and let it soak for at least 10 minutes (or longer if dramatic).
- Bake the Protein: Arrange marinated pieces in the dish. Bake for 15 minutes, flip, and bake another 15 until golden and slightly crisp.
- Add the Feta Mix: Combine vegan feta, olive oil, and lemon zest. Sprinkle generously over baked “chicken.”
- Serve & Slay: Garnish with parsley, and serve with cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives for that full Greek goddess moment.
