How to Prepare Maple Miso Tofu With Butternut Squash and Broccoli [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Press tofu under heavy weights or a tofu press for a minimum 30 minutes, until very dry.
In a shallow bowl, combine ingredients from miso through oil and whisk well. Cut dried tofu into cubes or triangles and place into marinade. Let sit for at least one hour, flipping over once or twice to ensure all is covered.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut the squash into large chunks and bake on a lightly oiled baking pan for 30-40 minutes, until fork tender (flipping in the middle).
When ready to cook, place tofu pieces in a large frying pan over medium heat, leaving marinade in bowl.
When tofu begins to brown (5-10 minutes), add in broccoli florets. Cover pan and let steam until broccoli is bright green and fork tender (5 minutes). Add cooked butternut squash and the leftover marinade. Stir gently so that everything is covered.
Heat until all is well coated and marinade has thickened (5-10 minutes).

Notes

This recipe serves two but can easily be doubled to feed a larger gathering. Extra marinade is a good thing. It will be absorbed.
