Tandoori Tofu Sheet Pan Dinner

If you don’t have the exact veggies we used, use what you have for an empty-the-fridge party (Can we come?). Let’s do this thing!

How to Make This Sheet Pan Dinner

To start, we press the tofu to remove excess moisture, which helps it crisp up in the oven. If you don’t have a tofu press, here’s a hack: Wrap the tofu in a dish towel and set something heavy on top (like a cast iron skillet). Next, we chop the sweet potato into wedges, the cauliflower into small florets, and thinly slice the red onion. While red onion adds natural sweetness, cauliflower contributes its antioxidant and detoxification superpowers, and sweet potato makes this meal filling. Sweet potato also supplies plenty of potassium, vitamin C, B6, and beta-carotene (which converts to vitamin A in your body). Nutrients galore right here! Once the tofu is pressed and the veggies chopped, we add it all to a baking sheet and toss with oil, salt, and tandoori masala (a delicious Indian spice mix — learn more about it and find our DIY version here). Then bake until the veggies are tender and golden brown, and dinner is served! While it’s baking, you can (optionally), whip up a batch of our Easy Green Chutney or Mint Chutney for a seriously delicious pairing that makes this meal taste restaurant-quality!
