CRISPY TOFU WITH BALSAMIC TOMATOES
You don't need to fry tofu to get it crisp-edged and golden brown. Drizzling it with a mix of cornstarch and oil, then roasting it will deliver a closely crunchy approximation that won't splatter oil across your countertop. Here, the tofu is roasted alongside balsamic-glazed cherry tomatoes, sliced garlic and red onions, all of which caramelize as they cook. Top everything with a handful of fresh herbs, then serve it over rice, quinoa or another grain for an easy, plant-based meal. Note that the recipe serves only two to three. To double it, use two sheet pans and add a few extra minutes to the cook time.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Arrange tofu slices on a clean kitchen towel or on paper towels. Cover with another kitchen towel (or paper towels) and place a flat cutting board or baking pan on top. If your cutting board or pan is lightweight, stack a few cans or a skillet on top to weigh it down. Let tofu drain for at least 15 minutes, and up to 45 minutes.
- Transfer tofu to a cutting board and cut slabs into 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with paper towels and season both sides of the tofu with 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon oil, cornstarch, garlic powder (if using) and 1/2 teaspoon of the oregano. Add tofu to cornstarch mixture and gently toss until tofu is evenly coated. Dump tofu onto one side of the prepared sheet pan.
- In a large bowl, toss together tomatoes, onion, garlic, balsamic vinegar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Drizzle in the remaining 2 tablespoons of the oil, tossing to combine.
- Arrange vegetables on other side of the prepared sheet pan. Bake until tofu is crisp and golden brown, and tomatoes are condensed, 25 to 35 minutes. Halfway through baking, flip tofu and toss vegetables while keeping the tofu and veggies separate.
- To serve, sprinkle cilantro on top and drizzle with balsamic and oil, if you'd like.
SHEET-PAN COLLARD GREENS AND CRISPY TOFU WITH NITER KIBBEH
This easy dinner is inspired by gomen, an Ethiopian dish in which greens are flavored with an aromatic spiced butter. Crispy tofu is a delightful counterpart.

Steps:
- Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil; spread out panko evenly on baking sheet. Toast, stirring once, until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer panko to a plate; reserve baking sheet (leave oven on).
- Season tofu with ½ tsp. salt and arrange in a single layer on a work surface lined with a kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels. Fold towel over tofu, set a small rimmed baking sheet or cutting board on top and weigh down with a couple of cans or a heavy pan. Let sit 20 minutes to drain.
- Place garlic, ginger, and large sliced onion on reserved baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and 1 Tbsp. niter kibbeh and toss to coat. Roast, undisturbed, 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, rinse collard greens in a large bowl or sink filled with cold water and gently agitate. Lift from water (don't pour through a colander or you may redistribute sandy water all over greens) and repeat with fresh water. Remove greens from water.
- Remove baking sheet with roasted onion mixture from oven and arrange greens in a single layer over roasted vegetables (no need to pat dry). Return vegetables to oven and roast 10 minutes.
- Whisk tapioca flour, paprika, 1 tsp. coriander, ¼ tsp. cayenne, and 1 tsp. salt in a shallow bowl to combine. Beat egg whites in another shallow bowl until very thick and foamy (just shy of soft peaks). Set plate of toasted panko next to bowls.
- Unwrap tofu and transfer to a cutting board; halve each slab diagonally into triangles to make 12 pieces total. Working one at a time, dredge tofu in tapioca mixture, shaking off any excess, then dip in egg whites and shake off excess. Coat in panko, gently pressing to adhere. Place tofu on a large plate.
- Remove vegetables from oven (greens should be wilted and lightly charred around the edges at this point). Sprinkle with 1½ tsp. salt; stir gently and push vegetables toward center of baking sheet. Fold a short end of foil over to the opposite end of baking sheet and crimp edges together to make a sealed packet.
- Place tofu pieces on unlined side of baking sheet. Bake, turning tofu halfway through, 20 minutes. (Greens and onion should be very tender and tofu should be warmed through and the outside should be crisped.)
- Meanwhile, separate remaining small sliced onion into strips and place in an even layer in a small shallow bowl. Combine vinegar, sugar, a pinch of cayenne, and remaining ½ tsp. coriander, and remaining ½ tsp. salt in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until just simmering, about 1 minute. (or heat in a small saucepan on the stovetop over medium-high). Pour over onion, making sure it is submerged. Let sit 20 minutes. Drain onion, reserving brine for drizzling if desired.
- Remove baking sheet from oven and open foil packet. Drizzle 1 Tbsp. niter kibbeh over greens; gently toss to distribute. Divide greens among plates; place 3 tofu pieces on each plate and drizzle with remaining 2 Tbsp. niter kibbeh. Scatter pickled onion over and drizzle with brine if using.

- Combine paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cumin, coriander and turmeric in a small bowl. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, lime juice and the spice mixture; cook, stirring, until sizzling and fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
- Slice each tofu block crosswise into 6 slices; pat dry. Use about 3 tablespoons of the spiced oil to brush both sides of the tofu slices; sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. (Reserve the remaining spiced oil.)
- Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the tofu until it has grill marks and is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
