How to Make Sheet Pan Zucchini and Red Pepper "Stir-Fry"
This recipe looks and tastes like a stir-fry, but it is roasted in the oven instead of cooking it on the stovetop. Just toss everything together, lay it out on a sheet pan, and let it bake! It's great as is, or you could add some additional flavors: Sprinkle with peanuts for crunch; drizzle with hot sauce for pow; add fresh cilantro for herbal flair.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
-
Pat or squeeze the tofu of excess liquid, if necessary. Cut the tofu into (3/4-inch) cubes.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the ginger, tamari, vinegar, and oil. Add the zucchini and bell pepper pieces to the sauce mixture; toss by hand to coat.
-
Arrange the zucchinis and peppers in a single layer on the baking sheet (fill 2/3 of the sheet), letting excess sauce drip back into the bowl.
-
Add the tofu to the bowl with the remaining sauce mixture; toss to coat. Arrange the tofu in a single layer on the baking sheet (fill the rest of the sheet). Drizzle tofu with any remaining sauce.
-
Roast until the tofu and vegetables are browned, about 30 minutes; no stirring needed. Serve.
