Sheet Pan Tofu and Vegetable Bowls with Ginger Peanut Sauce

These Sheet Pan Tofu and Vegetable Bowls are perfect for meal prep!

This morning my husband told me that the termite inspectors were coming at 8 AM right before he stepped out the door for work.  I didn’t have time to clean anything before the guy got here and our house was a complete pig sty.  I apologized for the mess and was secretly dying of embarrassment on the inside.  I’m hoping he’s seen worse??

Do you guys ever feel like all you ever do is clean the house and somehow it’s always dirty?  It might be that our house is pretty small and we have a tornado of a toddler running around, but just once I’d love for it to stay clean longer than 5 seconds 🙂

It seems to usually be the kitchen that gets hit the worst and I’m probably to blame for that.  Sometimes I think that I’m making a fairly simple dish and then an hour later I realize that I’ve dirtied every single dish in the kitchen.

This is when the idea of sheet pan meals comes in really handy!  Have you ever made one before?  I feel like I don’t see too many vegetarian ones out there, so I’m thinking I need to make more!  Basically, a sheet pan meal is a meal that you cook entirely on a sheet pan in the oven.  I did add some rice to this, but you certainly don’t have to.

It’s such a handy way to cook and I will definitely be doing it more often!  These Tofu and vegetable bowls would be perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner or a meal prep lunch.  I feel like most recipes I make these days can easily be used for meal prep or a family dinner.

I sent my husband to work with a few of these and my toddler gobbled them down!  He especially loved the carrots and broccoli, I was so proud 🙂

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 package extra firm tofu, about 15.5 ounces

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.  Drain the water from the tofu, wrap it in a dishtowel and press it for at least 15 minutes, the longer the better.
2. Cut tofu into bite sized cubes and add to a bowl with 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon tamari and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.  Mix until combined and let sit 10 minutes, or until finished chopping the vegetables.
3. Line a sheet pan with a non-stick mat and add all the vegetables.  Toss vegetables with 2 teaspoons sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon ginger and salt and pepper.  Move the vegetables to one end of the pan just so there is enough room for the tofu and then dump the tofu onto the pan, along with any extra marinade.
4. Bake tofu and vegetables until vegetables are tender and tofu is browned, 35-40 minutes, flipping once.
5. Make the peanut sauce while tofu and vegetables are baking.  Add all ingredients to a medium sized bowl and whisk until combined.
6. Assemble the bowls: add about 3/4 cup of your favorite grain to the bottom of the bowl and then top with 1/4 the vegetable mixture and 1/4 the tofu.  Drizzle desired amount of ginger peanut sauce on top and garnish with your favorite garnishes.
