Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
2/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup minced garlic
3 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 1-pound block medium (not firm) tofu, cut into 1/2"-thick slices
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon honey
1 medium red onion, cut into 1/4"-thick rounds
3 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, cut into 1/4"-thick slices
Ingredient info: Smoked paprika is available at many supermarkets.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Combine 1/4 cup cilantro, lime juice, garlic, 3 teaspoons cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Pour 1/2 cup of marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Add tofu. Seal bag; shake to coat. Let marinate at room temperature, turning occasionally, for 10-15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, transfer remaining marinade to a blender. Add 1/4 cup cilantro, 2 tablespoons oil, and honey; purée until smooth. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Combine onion and peppers in a large bowl. Toss with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Drain tofu. Season both sides with salt and pepper and place in a single layer on one side of prepared sheet. Spread vegetables in a single layer opposite tofu.
  • Roast, stirring vegetables occasionally, until vegetables are tender and tofu is lightly browned, 20-25 minutes.
  • Divide among plates. Drizzle with sauce. Garnish with remaining 1/4 cup cilantro.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it turned out much better. Next time, I'll use a different marinade.

I'm always looking for new ways to cook tofu, and this recipe didn't disappoint. The tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the marinade gave it a delicious flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The tofu was cooked perfectly, and the marinade was very flavorful. Next time, I'll use less chili powder.
