Equipment
- Sheet pan
Ingredients
- 16 oz high protein tofu (or extra firm tofu, with the water pressed out. Cut into slices),
- 28 oz cooked or canned chickpeas (Drain chickpeas before using)
- 10 oz cherry tomatoes
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari)
- 1-2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (use more or less depending on your heat tolerance)
- Salt to taste
- 3 scallions (optional, chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Whisk the sauce ingredients together: olive oil, maple syrup, soy sauce and sriracha sauce.
- Cut the tofu block in slices or cubes. I cut it in approximately 2 X 1 inch slices.
- Place the cherry tomatoes, chickpeas and tofu in a large bowl.
- Pour the dressing into the bowl and toss gently to coat the tofu, chickpeas and tomatoes. Season with salt as needed.
- Spread the tofu, chickpeas and tomatoes in an even layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake in a preheated 400 degrees Fahrenheit/205 degrees Celsius oven for 30 minutes. Garnish with chopped scallions, if using.
Notes
- Make some extra sauce and drizzle it over the tofu and chickpeas before serving.
- Add more or less sauce to the tofu and chickpeas before baking to tailor it to your taste.
- Serve the sheet pan tofu and chickpeas atop chopped lettuce for a delicious meal. Double the sauce recipe so you can drizzle some over the tofu and chickpeas while serving for extra yumminess.
- Serve the tofu and chickpeas with slices of avocado in a bowl. You can add quinoa or basmati rice to the bowl.
- Serve the sheet pan tofu and chickpeas on their own. They make a complete meal, and a delicious one!
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days.
- Freeze: Freezing tofu changes its texture, making it dryer and spongier. It will still taste good, so you can freeze this dish in an airtight container for up to three months.
- Reheat: Before serving, place the tofu, chickpeas and tomatoes on a baking sheet and reheat in a preheated 350-degree Fahrenheit/180-degree Celsius oven until warmed through.
