    • To make a Tofu Tray Bake, start by blending the marinade ingredients, such as garlic, ginger, and herbs, in a blender until you have a coarse puree. Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C) while you chop the veggies and tofu. Marinate the tofu and veggies separately with the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Spread the marinated tofu and veggies in a single layer on a greased baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap. Drizzle some oil over the tray and bake for 20 minutes, then check and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the tofu and veggies are cooked through and slightly crispy on the edges.

    Serve the Tofu Tray Bake on its own or with a creamy dressing, over rice, grains, or quinoa, or in wraps with lettuce, cucumber, lime juice, and black pepper. This versatile dish can be enjoyed in many ways.
