Ingredients
- For the Baked Tofu:
- 1 (16-ounce / 454-gram) package super-firm tofu, diced into ½–1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- For the Roasted Broccoli:
- 1 medium broccoli crown, cut into florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- For the Sauce:
- ⅓ cup smooth Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 ½ tablespoons red wine vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- For Serving:
- Cooked rice
- 4 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine tofu with soy sauce, olive oil, cornstarch, and smoked paprika. Toss gently to coat.
- Spread tofu on the baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, until crisp and golden.
- Prepare a second baking sheet. Add broccoli florets, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- When tofu has 15 minutes left, place broccoli in the oven. Roast for 15 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk together Dijon mustard, vegan mayo, maple syrup, red wine vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Warm over medium heat until gently simmering. Remove from heat and adjust seasoning.
- When tofu is done, transfer it to the saucepan with the sauce and stir to coat.
- Serve tofu over cooked rice with roasted broccoli. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve hot.
Notes
- Use agave or coconut nectar instead of maple syrup if desired.
- Substitute cauliflower or green beans for the broccoli.
- Air-fry tofu at 400°F for 12–15 minutes for quicker cooking.
- Make it oil-free by omitting oil from tofu and broccoli (texture will be softer).
- Double the sauce if you prefer extra for rice or veggies.
