Ingredients
Tofu
  • 14 oz. block extra-firm tofu

  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce*
  • 2 tsp. smoked paprika

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Remove tofu from packaging and wrap in a dish towel. Top with something heavy, such as a skillet or baking dish, and let sit for 10-20 minutes to remove the moisture.
  3. Cut the tofu into cubes and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time.
  4. While the tofu is cooking, heat the olive oil in a small pot. Add onions and garlic and cook until tender. Add molasses, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, chili powder, yellow mustard, pepper, and hot sauce. Bring to a simmer.
  5. To cook the vegetables, heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add carrots, broccoli, and peas. Season with salt and pepper and cook until crisp tender, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add tofu to the skillet and pour about half the BBQ sauce over it. Stir to combine and add more of the BBQ sauce if desired. Any unused BBQ sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  7. Serve immediately, enjoy!
