ingredients
Steps
Prepare and Marinate Tofu
Press excess water from the tofu using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, then cut into 2-3 cm cubes. In a large bowl, combine tamari, sesame oil, cornstarch, and maple syrup (if using). Add the tofu and toss thoroughly to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or longer while you prepare the vegetables.
Prepare Vegetables
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens). Cut the bell peppers, carrots, red onion, and zucchini into pieces similar in size to the tofu. Separate the broccoli into florets. Peel and grate the ginger, and mince or crush the garlic.
Roast
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the marinated tofu and all the chopped vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper to taste, then toss everything together thoroughly. Spread evenly on the baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd it. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the tofu is golden brown and crispy. Toss everything once halfway through cooking.
Serve
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh cilantro or sesame seeds for extra flavor. Enjoy your meal!
Extra Tips
► Thoroughly pressing the tofu is key for a crispy texture, don't skip this step!
► Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; bake in two batches if necessary for even browning of vegetables and tofu.
► Serve with rice, quinoa, or even pasta to make it an even more filling meal.
