A simple and delicious sheet pan meal featuring crispy baked tofu and a colorful mix of roasted vegetables, seasoned with a savory garlic and soy sauce marinade.
14 ounces extra-firm tofu, pressed and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch thick half-moons
1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
1 cup broccoli florets
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Add the cubed tofu to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Let it marinate for 10 minutes while preparing the vegetables.
Place the bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and broccoli florets in a large bowl. Pour half of the remaining marinade over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the marinated tofu cubes on one side of the prepared sheet pan in a single layer.
Spread the marinated vegetables on the other side of the sheet pan in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the tofu and stirring the vegetables halfway through, until the tofu is golden and crispy and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped fresh cilantro over the tofu and vegetables, if using.
Serve warm as a main dish or with steamed rice or quinoa.
