FAQ – EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE COOKING

Can you roast tofu with vegetables?

Yes! Roasting tofu with vegetables works well—just cube the tofu, toss everything in oil and spices, and spread on a baking sheet. Roast at 400°F until veggies are tender and tofu is golden.

Should I cook veggies or tofu first?

If pan-frying, start with the tofu to give it a crispy edge, then add the veggies. If roasting, you can cook everything together—just cut veggies and tofu in similar sizes for even cooking.

What vegetables go well with tofu?

Tofu pairs great with root vegetables like sweet potato, carrots, parsnips, beets, and squash. Broccoli, bell peppers, and cauliflower also work well for texture and colour.

What to put on roasted veggies?

Toss veggies with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, or spices like smoked paprika or cumin. Maple syrup or balsamic glaze adds sweetness and depth—perfect with tofu and sweet potatoes.

Is roasted tofu healthy?

Yes! Roasted tofu is high in plant-based protein and low in saturated fat. Combined with roasted veggies, it’s a fibre-rich, nutrient-packed, balanced meal that fits most healthy diets.
