Roasting red peppers, tofu, and cauliflower brings out their natural flavors, creating a delicious and nutritious dish. The combination of spices, breadcrumbs, and sesame seeds adds a delightful crunch and enhances the overall taste. This recipe is perfect for a healthy and satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Place the florets in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the cauliflower. Add a dash of salt and black pepper, then toss to coat evenly.
Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown and tender, tossing halfway through.
In the meantime, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the yellow or green pepper slices and tofu cubes to the skillet. Sprinkle with a little salt and black pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the tofu is lightly browned on all sides.
Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to the skillet with the peppers and tofu. Add the red pepper spice and toss everything together gently to ensure even coating.
Sprinkle the bread crumbs and sesame seeds over the mixture in the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bread crumbs are golden brown and the sesame seeds are toasted.
Transfer the roasted red pepper and tofu cauliflower to a serving dish. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure the cauliflower is evenly coated with the olive oil, salt, and pepper for optimal roasting.
- Cut your garlic cloves finely to distribute their flavor more evenly across the dish.
- Consider pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture before roasting; this helps achieve a firmer texture.
- Roast the vegetables on a single layer on the baking sheet to allow even cooking and browning.
- Stir halfway through the roasting process to ensure all sides of the vegetables and tofu are browned evenly.
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding more red pepper flakes for extra heat or a squeeze of lemon juice for a zesty twist.
By following these simple steps, you can create a mouth-watering roasted red pepper and tofu cauliflower dish that's both healthy and flavorful. Enjoy the delightful crunch and rich taste, and don't forget to share this recipe with your friends and family!
