Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl toss tofu in oil and aminos. ½ tablespoon at a time, toss tofu in starch. I shake the bowl a few times to make sure the tofu is fully coated. Evenly distribute tofu on a lined sheet pan and roast for 30-35 minutes.
- Toss broccoli in oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 30 minutes. You can add it to the same sheet pan as the tofu but it may be done before the tofu.
- To prepare the sauce add all ingredients except for the starch to a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and add starch. Whisk until sauce is thickened(about 60 seconds) and set aside.
- Toss tofu in sauce and serve along veggies and grain.
Notes
This makes 1-2 servings depending on how hungry you are.
*To get the water out of my tofu I lightly push on it with a paper towel.
