Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cubed
• 3 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
• Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
3. Add the pressed and cubed tofu to the marinade, toss well, and let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
4. Spread the marinated tofu on one side of the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
5. While the tofu is baking, toss the broccoli with sesame oil, salt, and pepper, and then add it to the baking sheet after the tofu has baked for 15 minutes.
6. Continue to roast both the tofu and broccoli for an additional 15 minutes until the tofu is golden and the broccoli is tender-crisp.
7. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions, and serve hot.

Notes

Use extra-firm tofu for the best texture and ensure it is well-pressed to remove excess moisture.

For the tofu, pressing it for at least 30 minutes will help achieve a firmer texture that absorbs the marinade better. If you’re looking for a different flavor profile, consider adding a splash of soy sauce or sriracha to the marinade for an extra kick.

Storage is straightforward: keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or on a skillet to maintain the tofu’s crispiness. You can also enjoy the baked tofu in salads or grain bowls for a meal prep option!
