Check out this simple and delicious Sheet Pan BBQ Tofu recipe! It’s perfect for a quick dinner or as a savory addition to your meal prep lineup. Here’s how to make it:
Start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees. First, you’ll need to press the liquid out of two 16-ounce packages of extra firm tofu. You can use a tofu press or just wrap the tofu in a towel and place a heavy pan on top for about 10-15 minutes. Once it’s pressed, cut the tofu into cubes.
In a bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon each of chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder, and 2 teaspoons of kosher salt. Gently toss the tofu cubes in the spice mixture until they’re well coated. Be careful not to break the tofu.
Place the coated tofu cubes on a baking sheet and drizzle a little olive oil over them to prevent sticking. Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the tofu is golden and has a dry-ish exterior.
While the tofu is baking, you can prepare any additional ingredients you want to add to your bowls. Some great options include quinoa, rice, roasted sweet potatoes, green beans, corn, zucchini, tomatoes, mushrooms, and spicy coleslaw. For the coleslaw, simply toss a bag of pre-shredded cabbage with a bit of mayo, salt, and Sriracha. If you’re keeping it vegan, opt for vegan mayo.
For sauces, consider hot sauce, green tahini, magic green sauce, or honey/honey mustard if you’re not vegan.
This BBQ tofu is not only tasty but also keeps well in the fridge for 3-4 days. For a crispy reheat, try sautéing it in a pan, or you can microwave it if you’re in a pinch.
Enjoy your meal prep or a delightful dinner with this easy and versatile BBQ tofu recipe!
