Ingredients
- 14 oz (400g) firm tofu, pressed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 cups snow peas, trimmed
- 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish
- Cooking spray or 1 tablespoon oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce or tamari, maple syrup, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
-
Place the tofu cubes in a mixing bowl and pour half of the teriyaki sauce over them. Gently toss to coat evenly and let marinate for 5-10 minutes.
-
Toss snow peas and carrots with a light coating of cooking oil from the listed pan-greasing allowance.
-
Arrange the marinated tofu in a single layer on one half of the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the tofu.
-
Spread the snow peas and carrots in a single layer on the other half of the sheet pan.
-
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping the tofu and stirring the vegetables halfway through for even cooking and caramelization.
-
Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the reserved half of the teriyaki sauce. Drizzle over the tofu and vegetables, toss gently and spread evenly.
-
Return to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and the tofu develops a glossy, caramelized finish.
-
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions over the tofu and vegetables before serving.
-
Serve hot, optionally with steamed jasmine rice or your favorite whole grain to complete this wholesome Asian-inspired vegan meal.
Tips

Cookware Swap Guidance
If a large sheet pan isn’t available, you can use several alternatives without sacrificing flavor or texture.
Leftovers Quality
Reheat gently and add a splash of liquid when needed to keep the texture moist and tender.
