If you’re looking for a completely fuss-free and nutritious tofu sweet potato recipe, then my Roasted Sheet-Pan Tofu and Sweet Potato Rice Bowl is just what you need!

Here's what you need

Ingredients  – Extra firm tofu, cubed – half of large sweet potato, peeled and cubed – Red onion, sliced – Broccoli florets – Olive oil – Corn starch – Brown jasmine rice - spices - salt 

Let's get started!

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Gather the spices into a pinch bowl and whisk to combine.

Step 1

Starting with the tofu, remove from the package and place the block on top of a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. The best tofu press is to cover the tofu with another kitchen paper towel, and place a flat cutting board on top. Press out the excess water. Slice the tofu into 4 sections and repeat the process with presssing out the extra liquid. Let tofu drain for at least 10 minutes.

Step 2

Cube the tofu up and place on the sheet pan. Toss the tofu pieces with the cornstarch and let it sit. Meanwhile, wash and peel the sweet potato and dice into cubes. Place the sweet potato cubes on the sheet pan.

Step 3

Slice the red onion. For the broccoli, cut the florets in half so that they are somewhat uniform in size with the tofu and sweet potato. Add them to the sheet pan.

Step 4

Drizzle with the olive and then add then evenly distribute the spice mixture over the top. Gently toss the tofu and veggies to combine with the oilve oil and the spices.

Step 5

Roast for 20 minutes and then give it a stir. Continue to roast for another 15 minutes. Once the tofu and sweet potato are a nice golden brown and tender, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Add a pinch of salt and let it cool for a couple of minutes.

Pro Tip- Tofu can be made without cornstarch. However cornstarch is what helps it get that crispier texture.
