Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby red potatoes
- 8 ounces extra-firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and cut the baby red potatoes into halves or quarters, ensuring they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.
Drain the extra-firm tofu and pat it dry with paper towels. Crumble it into small, rough pieces resembling coarse breadcrumbs.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, crumbled tofu, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes and tofu are well coated with the oil and seasoning.
Spread the potato and tofu mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring it's in a single layer for optimal roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot as a high-protein side dish or snack.
