Sheet Pan Tofu and Veggies in Sesame Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1 14 oz. package extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed dry
  • 2 cups (266g) sweet potatoes, cubed into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 2 cups (50g) kale, chopped
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp tamari soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). 

Cut the tofu into ½-inch cubes. On one rimmed baking sheet, arrange the tofu and sweet potatoes in a single layer and drizzle with 1 tbsp of the olive oil, tossing gently to coat. On a second rimmed baking sheet, arrange the cauliflower florets in a single layer and toss with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.

Place both pans in the oven and roast for 20 minutes, flipping the tofu and sweet potatoes once halfway through. After 20 minutes, add the kale to the cauliflower pan, toss to combine, and return to the oven. Continue roasting for an additional 8–10 minutes, until the sweet potatoes and cauliflower are tender and lightly browned and the kale is wilted and slightly crispy at the edges.

While the vegetables finish roasting, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, tamari, water, and garlic in a small bowl until smooth. Pour the sauce over the warm vegetables and tofu and toss to coat evenly.

RD Tip

This is a great option for a quick, low-maintenance dinner, and it’s packed with anti-inflammatory properties from the salmon (1).

Sheet Pan Miso Salmon With Baby Bok Choy

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 4 (5-oz./142g) salmon fillets, skin-on
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tsp lemon zest, finely grated
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup (42g) whole-wheat panko crumbs
  • 4 small baby bok choy, halved lengthwise (quartered if larger)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat generously with cooking spray. Using tweezers or needle-nose pliers, remove any pin bones from the salmon fillets. Arrange the fillets skin-side down in the center of the prepared baking sheet.

In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, miso paste, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth. Spread the mixture evenly over the top of each fillet, then gently press the panko crumbs onto the surface so they adhere.

In a medium bowl, toss the bok choy with the oil until evenly coated. Scatter the vegetables around the salmon and season with the salt and pepper. Roast, rotating the pan once halfway through, until the salmon is cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F, about 12–15 minutes.

To serve, slide a spatula gently between the flesh and skin of each fillet — the skin should release easily from the foil. Transfer to plates, discarding the skin, and serve immediately.
