Recipe Guide
- → How do I make the tofu extra crispy?
Press the tofu thoroughly and roast at a high temperature for golden, crispy edges. Toss halfway for even browning.

Try mushrooms, eggplant, or broccoli in place of bell pepper or zucchini for new flavors and textures.
- → How do I store leftovers?
Keep roasted tofu and veggies separate from sauce and bread. Refrigerate in airtight containers up to 3 days.

Crispy roasted potatoes, mixed greens, or a vegan-certified Sauvignon Blanc make ideal accompaniments.
