One-pan tofu and veggies

This one-pan meal is a perfect blend of vibrant vegetables and protein, featuring firm tofu, sweet potatoes, Roma tomatoes, asparagus, summer squash, and red cabbage.

The tofu is smothered with a tangy BBQ sauce and mayo, then sprinkled with sesame seeds for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

Simply arrange the ingredients on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake for 30 minutes at 400°F.

This easy-to-make, healthy, and customizable dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, and you can switch up the protein with fish or meat to suit your preferences.
