INGREDIENTS

14 oz extra-firm tofu

1.5 cup carrots

0.5 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp tamari

0.5 tbsp maple syrup

2 tbsp nutritional yeast

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp sesame seeds

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Slice the carrots into 1/2-inch thick rounds and toss them on the baking sheet with 0.25 tbsp of olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

  Roast the carrots for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

• 4

  While carrots roast, wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy skillet on top for 10 minutes to press out excess moisture.

• 5

  Cut the pressed tofu into 1-inch cubes and place them in a bowl; toss with nutritional yeast and garlic powder until evenly coated.

• 6

  Heat the remaining 0.25 tbsp of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tofu for 8-10 minutes until golden on all sides.

• 7

  In a small jar, whisk together the tamari and maple syrup, then pour the mixture over the seared tofu in the skillet.

• 8

  Reduce heat to low and toss the tofu for 1-2 minutes until the glaze is thick and glossy, then serve alongside the roasted carrots and garnish with sesame seeds.
