Sheet Pan Crisp Tofu And Sweet Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Put a large baking sheet on the middle or lower oven rack and preheat to 500 ̊ F. Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, then halve each piece lengthwise to make 4 long wedges.
• Slice the wedges crosswise and combine in a large bowl with the green beans, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a generous grinding of pepper; toss well. Spread on the hot baking sheet and roast, tossing once, until tender and browned in spots, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the tofu into twelve 1 1/2- to 1 3/4-inch cubes. Press with paper towels to absorb some of the moisture; season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and crisp on all sides, about 15 minutes.
• Combine the parsley, chives, lemon zest and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a mini food processor; pulse until chopped (or finely chop by hand). Add the remaining 3 tablespoons
• olive oil and pulse to combine. Scrape into a bowl and stir in the lemon juice and 1 to 2 teaspoons water to make the sauce loose enough to drizzle. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the vegetables and tofu among plates. Drizzle with the herb sauce and top with the almonds and more chives.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Press your tofu. Line the bottom of a dinner plate with several paper towels and place the hunk of tofu on it. Top with a few more paper towels and set three or four more dinner plates on top. Take care to make sure the plates don't fall over as the moisture is pressed out of the tofu!
• While the tofu sits, cut your veggies, setting aside the asparagus. Place all veggies (except the asparagus!) into a large bowl. You'll add the asparagus to the pan halfway through cooking time, otherwise, it can overcook.
• Cut the tofu into squares or rectangles. I like approx. 2-inch by 1/2-inch pieces. Add the tofu to the bowl with the veggies.
• Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss gently until all of the veggies and tofu have a thin coat of olive oil. If it seems like it needs more oil, add the additional tablespoon.
• Spread the veggies and tofu in the sheet pan in a single layer. Make sure they're not too crowded. If one pan doesn't provide enough room, you may need to divide the mixture between two sheet pans.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and gently flip over the veggies and tofu. Place the asparagus in the bowl and drizzle with 1-2 more teaspoons olive oil. Add a pinch of kosher salt and toss until coated. Pour the asparagus onto the pan with the tofu and veggies, tucking it into the empty areas so you maintain a single layer as well as you can.
• Bake until the veggies are tender and browned in spots and the tofu is a light golden brown, about 15 more minutes.
• Remove from oven. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees and place one rack on the top and one on the bottom. Fill a kettle or medium pot with water (about 8 cups) and bring to a boil. Place the noodles in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak for 5 minutes, then drain. Set aside the bowl to use in Step 5.
• Make the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk to combine the hoisin sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, garlic and sesame seeds.
• Place the noodles on a sheet pan. Add the sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of neutral oil, soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Toss to combine, then spread the noodles out evenly.
• Dip each tofu slice into the marinade, coating both sides, then add them to the sheet pan, pushing the noodles aside so that the tofu touches the pan and doesn't just sit on top of the noodles. Place on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Reserve excess marinade.
• Place the baby bok choy into the reserved bowl, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon of neutral oil and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and toss to coat.
• Remove the sheet pan from the oven (the noodles should be crisp on the bottom and around the edges) and add the bok choy to the pan. Return the sheet pan to the top rack of the oven and bake for 4 to 7 minutes until the greens are vibrant with crispy edges, and the top of the noodles are crispy. Drizzle with the remaining marinade, top with cilantro leaves and serve.
