Simple and easy to make. This recipe is ready in less than 30 minutes and requires very minimal prep.

Flavor-packed. Despite how easy it is to make, it does not fall short on flavor! The sauce is so addicting and has the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and sour flavors.

Easily adaptable. This recipe can easily be modified to meet your needs, desires, and cravings! Full adaptations below.

Ingredient Breakdown:

• Extra-firm tofu – I recommend extra firm tofu for a crispier texture, but firm also works.
• Cornstarch – this will help create a crispy airy exterior to the tofu.
• White pepper – spicier than black pepper and adds a nice kick to the tofu. Can also substitute regular black pepper.
• Broccoli and bell pepper – this is where you can customize the recipe to your liking! Any veggies will work great in this recipe.
• Green onion – adds freshness and color.
• Sesame seeds – adds a bit of nuttiness and garnish to the final dish.
• Tamari – can also use low-sodium soy sauce
• Rice vinegar – can sub any vinegar or lime juice.
• Creamy peanut butter – I recommend creamy over crunchy. Preferably unsalted, since there are other salty components in the sauce.
• Hoisin sauce – adds umami flavor and saltiness to the sauce.
• Honey – sub maple syrup if you do not consume honey on a vegan diet.
• Sesame oil – adds a nice nuttiness to the sauce.

How to make Sheet Pan Teriyaki Tofu:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line one large sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, toss cubed tofu in ½ tbsp oil, cornstarch, ½ tsp kosher salt, and ¼ tsp white pepper. Spread out into a single layer on one-half of the baking sheet. In the same mixing bowl, toss broccoli and bell peppers in remaining ½ tbsp oil and ¼ tsp kosher salt. Spread out into a single layer on remaining half of the baking sheet.
3. Bake tofu and veggies for 25 minutes, tossing halfway through. When 10 minutes are remaining, start preparing the sauce.
4. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together all sauce ingredients (except cornstarch). Bring to a low boil then reduce to simmer. Whisk together cornstarch with 1 tsp water and pour into simmering sauce. Cook for ~1 minute until thickened. Remove from heat.
5. Once tofu and veggies are done, pour over desired amount of sauce (I ended up using ~⅔). Toss well to fully coat everything in sauce. Serve over rice and top with sliced green onion and sesame seeds. Reserve extra sauce for leftovers or top on other recipes – it goes well on so many foods!

Recipe Modifications + Serving Suggestions:

Substitute white pepper with black pepper.

Substitute bell peppers and/or broccoli for veggies of choice, such as cauliflower, green beans, or carrots.

Substitute rice vinegar with white distilled vinegar or lime juice.

Substitute honey with maple syrup, agave, or granulated sugar.

I recommend serving this recipe over rice topped with sliced green onion and sesame seeds.

Storage Instructions:

Store cooled tofu and veggies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.

Any leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Reheat tofu and veggies in the microwave until warm or in a 400F oven until warmed through.
