The secret to this dish is the balance between the crisp-tender vegetables and the klebrig-süße sauce. While the sheet pan roasts, you quickly whisk together a glaze featuring fresh ginger and garlic, ensuring a restaurant-quality finish right in your own kitchen.

Ingredients

• Tofu and Vegetables:
• 400 g (14 oz) extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
• 1 head broccoli, cut into florets (about 300 g)
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium red onion, sliced
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil (e.g., avocado or canola)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• Teriyaki Sauce:
• 60 ml (1/4 cup) low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 60 ml (1/4 cup) water
• Optional Garnishes:
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Arrange the cubed tofu, broccoli florets, bell peppers, and red onion on the sheet pan. Drizzle with vegetable oil, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.

Step 3

Bake for 20 minutes, tossing halfway, until vegetables are tender and tofu is golden.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the teriyaki sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, cornstarch, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking continuously until thickened (about 2–3 minutes). Remove from heat.

Step 5

Pour the teriyaki sauce over the tofu and vegetables on the pan. Toss gently to coat. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 6

Remove from the oven, sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve hot over steamed rice if desired.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For extra-crispy results, ensure you press the tofu thoroughly to remove excess moisture before cubing. Tossing the cubes in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch before the initial bake will create an even better crust to hold onto that savory glaze.
