1 tsp. Frontier Whole Thyme Leaf, crumbled
1 tsp. Frontier Oregano, crumbled

2. Place half the onion slices and half the lime slices in the bottom of a baking dish just large enough to hold tofu in a single layer. Rub oil over both sides of tofu. Sprinkle both sides of tofu with herbs. Arrange tofu on top of onion and lime slices. Cover with remaining onion and lime slices.
