What gives the tofu its savory flavor in this Buddha Tray?

The tofu is marinated in extra virgin olive oil, smoked paprika, and onion granules, which infuse it with a rich, savory taste before baking.

Can I use different vegetables for this Baked Tofu Buddha Tray?

While this recipe uses bell pepper, broccolini, red cabbage, and cauliflower, you could substitute with other firm, roastable vegetables like carrots, Brussels sprouts, or sweet potatoes, adjusting cook times as needed.

How is the Baked Tofu Buddha Tray typically served?

This tray is designed to be served with hummus, and a pinch of chili flakes can be added to the tofu for an extra kick, creating a complete and balanced meal.

Is regular tofu suitable if I can't find smoked tofu?

While smoked tofu adds a unique flavor, you can use extra-firm or super-firm regular tofu. Press it well before marinating to achieve a similar texture and absorb the flavors.

Why are the tofu and vegetables baked on separate sides of the sheet pan?

Placing the tofu on one side and vegetables on the other allows for even cooking and prevents overcrowding, ensuring everything roasts properly without steaming.

How to Prepare Baked Tofu Buddha Tray [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C or gas mark 4).
In a large bowl, combine 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of the olive oil with the smoked paprika and onion granules. Add the tofu chunks and stir gently to coat them evenly in the marinade.
Scatter the tofu on the left-hand side of a sheet pan then add the bell pepper, broccolini, cabbage and cauliflower to the right-hand side. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil over the vegetables and place the pan into the oven to bake for 30 minutes.
Serve with hummus and some chili flakes on the tofu, if you wish.
