Ingredients
  

For the Tofu
  • 1 block Firm or Extra-Firm Tofu Essential for texture; avoid silken or soft varieties.
For the Sauce
  • ¼ cup Soy Sauce Tamari can be used for gluten-free options.

  • 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar Apple cider vinegar is a good substitute.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil May omit for allergies or replace with olive oil.

  • 1 tablespoon Ginger Fresh adds zing; powdered can be used if needed.
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch Crucial for crispy texture.
For the Vegetables

Preparation
  1. Press the firm or extra-firm tofu to remove excess moisture, wrap it in a kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top for 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch in a mixing bowl.
  4. Toss the pressed and cubed tofu in half of the sauce until evenly coated.
  5. Chop fresh broccoli into equal-sized florets and toss with oil and remaining sauce.
  6. Spread the coated tofu and seasoned broccoli on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  7. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  8. Drizzle remaining sauce over the tofu and broccoli and return to the oven for 5 more minutes.
  9. Remove from oven, cool slightly, and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
