Creating your Baked Tofu and Veggie Bowls is simple with these straightforward steps:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Season the Tofu: Add soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss until well coated.
- Add Cornstarch: Sprinkle cornstarch over the tofu cubes and toss again to ensure they are evenly coated.
- Prepare the Veggies: In another bowl, combine broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas. Drizzle olive oil, salt, and pepper over the veggies and toss well.
- Spread on Baking Sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Spread the seasoned tofu in one layer on one sheet and the vegetables on the other.
- Bake the Tofu and Veggies: Place both sheets in the oven. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the tofu is golden and crispy, and the vegetables are tender.
- Cook Grains: While the tofu and veggies bake, cook rice or quinoa according to package instructions.
- Combine the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer cooked rice or quinoa, followed by a generous portion of baked tofu and veggies.
- Optional Toppings: Garnish with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and a drizzle of sriracha for added flavor.
