This vegetarian meal is a must-try for tofu lovers. A homemade garlic soy sauce glazes hearty tofu and is complemented by hints of citrus flavor to make the ultimate Garlic Soy Sheet Pan Tofu.
Perfect for meatless Monday (and everyday of the week), this diet-friendly meal is packed with protein—so it will keep you feeling full to avoid any temptations. And best of all? It’s super simple to make! To make this mouthwatering Garlic Soy Tofu, wrap a block of tofu in a clean dish towel and place on a large plate while pressing down on the tofu. Set the tofu aside for 10 to 30 minutes. While the tofu is sitting, thoroughly whisk together orange zest and juice, soy sauce, garlic, honey, ginger and sesame oil. Once tofu is done sitting, cut into cubes and add to the garlic soy mixture to toss. Once fully coated, evenly distribute on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes on one side. Remove from the oven to flip the tofu and add the sugar snap peas on half of the baking sheet. Drizzle the peas with olive oil and sprinkle with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Pop back in the oven for another 10 to 12 minutes, sprinkle with scallions, and enjoy!
