Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Press 14 oz firm tofu to remove excess water, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Toss with 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tbsp cornstarch until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Place tofu on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip tofu and bake for 5 more minutes until golden.
  3. Step 3: While tofu bakes, combine 2 tbsp sesame oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp grated ginger, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tbsp honey in a small bowl.
  4. Step 4: Add 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 sliced red bell pepper, 1 cup snap peas, and 1 sliced small zucchini to the baking sheet with the tofu. Pour the sauce mixture over the vegetables and toss to coat.
  5. Step 5: Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and slightly charred at the edges.

How do I store leftover Sheet Pan Vegetable and Tofu Stir-Fry?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep firm tofu from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Sheet Pan Vegetable and Tofu Stir-Fry?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Sheet Pan Vegetable and Tofu Stir-Fry for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.

Is Sheet Pan Vegetable and Tofu Stir-Fry vegetarian?
