Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 8 ounces extra-firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Cut the extra-firm tofu into 1/2-inch cubes and place them between paper towels. Press down gently to remove excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets and tofu cubes.
Drizzle the olive oil over the broccoli and tofu. Toss them gently to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the broccoli and tofu. Toss again to ensure even coating.
Arrange the broccoli and tofu in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the edges of the broccoli are crispy and the tofu is golden brown, tossing halfway through.
Remove from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a light main. Optionally, garnish with additional lemon slices or fresh parsley.
