Ingredients
Tofu
  • 14 oz. extra-firm tofu
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp. onion powder
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. smoked paprika
Vegetables
  • 3 tbsp. sesame oil
  • 2 broccoli crowns, cut into florets
  • 2-3 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. pepper
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • Sesame seeds for topping, optional
  • Soy sauce, optional
Instructions
  1. Remove the tofu from the package, discarding any liquid in the package. Wrap the tofu in a clean dish towel and place something heavy on top, like a skillet. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch, salt, pepper, onion powder, and paprika.
  3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  4. Transfer the tofu to a cutting board and cut into cubes. Transfer to a bowl or a gallon-sized ziploc bag. Drizzle with olive oil and shake or stir to coat.
  5. Sprinkle with seasoning mixture and shake or stir to coat.
  6. Spread tofu on prepared baking sheet, making sure none of them are touching. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping over halfway in between baking time.
  7. While the tofu is cooking, prepare vegetables. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and add broccoli, carrots, and peas. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and cook until crisp tender.
  8. Place a serving of vegetables in the bowl and top with tofu. Add green onions and sesame seeds. Add a drizzle of soy sauce if desired.
  9. Enjoy!
