ingredients

1 (14 ounce) package water-packed extra firm tofu, rinsed, patted dry and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 medium red onion, sliced
2 teaspoons canola oil
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 tablespoon tahini
1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
3 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed or 3 cups broccoli
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

directions

Preheat oven to 450°F.
Toss tofu, onion, canola oil, sesame oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread on a large baking sheet and roast until the tofu is lightly golden on top and the onions are browning in spots, 15 to 20 minutes.
Whisk tahini, soy sauce, maple syrup and vinegar in a small dish until combined. Remove the tofu from the oven, add snap peas and drizzle with the maple sauce; stir to combine. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Return to the oven and continue roasting until the peas are crisp-tender, 8 to 12 minutes more.

Delicious! Added extra maple syrup, and make sure to keep an eye on it, I found the cooking time a bit too long. (But I have a wacky old oven)

This was absolutely delicious! I added an extra tablespoon of maple syrup....because I'm a maple syrup addict. My boyfriend and I can't wait to have this again. Thanks for an awesome recipe!

This is so tasty! I made it with the broccoli option. I left it in the oven a little bit too long and it wa a bit toasty- but still delicious. The sauce is great. I served it over the udon noodles. It's also a very easy meal, great for weeknights. Thanks for posting, I'd make it again.
