Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Drain the tofu and pat it dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
- Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
- Place the tofu cubes in a bowl, and sprinkle a dash of salt and black pepper over them. Toss to evenly coat the tofu with the seasonings.
- Rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water and pat them dry.
- Trim the ends of each sprout and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves.
- Cut the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the tofu cubes and halved Brussels sprouts.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture.
- Add another dash of salt and black pepper to taste.
- Toss everything together until the tofu and Brussels sprouts are evenly coated with the olive oil and seasonings.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
- Spread the tofu and Brussels sprouts mixture in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly crispy on the edges, and the tofu is golden brown. Stir halfway through the roasting time to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Allow the roasted tofu and Brussels sprouts to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm as a side dish or main course.
- Optionally, you can sprinkle with additional salt, pepper, or your favorite seasonings before serving.
Tips:
