This quick and healthy dinner pairs creamy tofu and crispy snap peas with a tahini-maple sauce. Make it a meal: Serve with udon noodles and Green Tea-Poached Pears for dessert.

Sesame-Maple Roasted Tofu

red onion, sliced

canola oil

sesame oil

salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

tahini, (see Tip)

soy sauce

maple syrup

cider vinegar

sugar snap peas, trimmed

sesame seeds

Toss tofu, onion, canola oil, sesame oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread on a large baking sheet and roast until the tofu is lightly golden on top and the onions are browning in spots, 15 to 20 minutes.


Whisk tahini, soy sauce, maple syrup and vinegar in a small dish until combined. Remove the tofu from the oven, add snap peas and drizzle with the maple sauce; stir to combine. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Return to the oven and continue roasting until the peas are crisp-tender, 8 to 12 minutes more.


This was really really good. We made a few changes - sprinkled 5-spice powder - maybe 1 t - on the tofu before baking; broiled tofu and onions to hasten cooking and give a little crispness to the tofu; added carrots; after made sauce mixed veggies in the sauce and let them sit while tofu was cooking and then roasted it so the vegetables were coated. We served this with brown rice noodles which was a great combo. Pros: Delicious!

This came together quickly and I will make it again. Should have marinated the tofu in advance will do so next time. I doubled the recipe-it really doesn't serve four as listed-and found that the sauce was skimpy and barely coated the tofu and snap peas (expensive but delicious). So next time more sauce and marinate before baking. Pros: quick easy tasty ingredients Cons: too little sauce a little bland

I love this recipe! It is very tasty and even people who don't usually like tofu will eat it. I marinate the tofu in tahini soy & sesame oil for several hours and this enhance the flavor a lot. Then I triple the sauce because it seems there is never enough. Works well with green beans if you don't have snap peas.

Added frozen Asian strir-fry veggies because that's all I had. Served with Jap Chae noodles (only the noodle part and drizzled some of that sauce over this too..http://luckypeach.com/recipes/jap-chae/ Kids loved it and adults all loved it.

Really yummy! This was really great. I marinated the tofu and onions in the sesame oil mixture for a couple of hours first and I think it enhanced the flavor of the tofu. The combination of sesame soy and tahini made the flavor really interesting. A really satisfying and healthy dish- I'll be making it again. Pros: Great flavor

This was really delicious. Definitely double the sauce. It's really good. I poured it over the tofu onions fresh green beans and sliced red pepper. I think the suggestion to marinate the tofu for a while in the sauce is a good idea. Although I didn't do it and it was still quite delicious. The sauce got kind of sticky and sweet and caramelized on the vegetables. I must say they were the best green beans I've ever eaten.

Quick Easy and Delicious! We really liked this recipe. It went together quickly and the flavors blended very nicely. I would follow the other reviewers suggestion to marinate the tofu as well as double the sauce. It was great the way it was but that would make it even better. I used udon noodles and green beans.

staple dish in my home I absolutely love this recipe. This was the first tofu recipe I had made. I'm not the greatest cook but this is such a simple recipe to make. I will add a bit of brown rice to make it more filling but it can stand alone. I follow the recipe exactly how it's noted. Pros: flavorful easy tofu recipe
