Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

- 6
Drizzle the prepared sauce evenly over the tofu and vegetables, then toss everything gently to ensure even coating.

Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
💡 Chef tips
- For extra crispy tofu, press it for at least 20 minutes before cutting to remove excess moisture.
- You can easily swap the vegetables for whatever seasonal produce you have on hand, such as asparagus, mushrooms, or sweet potato cubes.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a toaster oven or skillet.
