- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Cut the extra-firm tofu into 1/2-inch cubes and place them between paper towels. Press down gently to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets and tofu cubes.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil over the broccoli and tofu. Toss them gently to coat evenly.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the broccoli and tofu. Toss again to ensure even coating.
Step 7
Arrange the broccoli and tofu in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 8
Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the edges of the broccoli are crispy and the tofu is golden brown, tossing halfway through.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish or a light main. Optionally, garnish with additional lemon slices or fresh parsley.
