Secrets to Crispy Tofu

Press your tofu for 20 minutes to remove excess water, then cube it evenly. Toss it in cornstarch and a splash of soy sauce before roasting at 400°F for 25 minutes, flipping halfway. This creates a crunchy outside that pairs perfectly with the Sriracha peanut sauce.

Picking and Prepping Your Vegetables

Choose hearty veggies like broccoli, bell peppers, and zucchini for roasted vegetables with tofu. Chop them uniformly to ensure even cooking. Lightly coat them in olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a sheet pan. Roast alongside the tofu for a vibrant, healthy noodle dish. For more ideas, try my sheet pan dinners.
