Roasted Tofu & Broccoli with Peanut-Curry Sauce

Step 1

Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven. Place 2 rimmed baking sheets in the oven; preheat to 450°F.

Step 2

Cut tofu into 1/2- to 3/4-inch cubes. Arrange in a single layer on a clean kitchen towel, place another towel over it and weight it down with a plate or baking sheet and a large can on top for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, whisk peanut butter, coconut milk, tamari (or soy sauce), maple syrup, vinegar and curry paste in a small bowl.

Step 4

Toss broccoli with 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a medium bowl and arrange in a single layer on one of the baking sheets. Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil on the tofu, then arrange in a single layer on the other baking sheet. Return both pans to the oven.

Step 5

Roast, rotating the pans from top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until the tofu and broccoli are crispy, about 20 minutes. Serve the tofu and broccoli with the peanut sauce and garnish with scallions, if desired.
