Pan-Seared Tofu with Roasted Vegetables
Pan-seared tofu cubes and vibrant roasted vegetables are tossed in a savory nutritional yeast glaze for a satisfyingly crispy and nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Firm tofu
0.5 cup Cooked brown lentils
1 cup Broccoli florets
1 medium Red bell pepper
0.5 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp Nutritional yeast
1 tbsp Tamari
0.5 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain the tofu and press it between heavy plates and paper towels for at least 10 minutes to remove moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
Place the broccoli florets and sliced bell peppers on the baking sheet, drizzle with 0.5 teaspoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt, and roast for 18-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the tofu cubes to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until they develop a golden-brown crust.
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the cooked lentils, tamari, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, and black pepper.
Toss the tofu and lentils constantly for 2 minutes until the nutritional yeast forms a savory, dry glaze over the ingredients.
Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and fold them into the skillet with the tofu mixture before serving.
