Everything You’ll Need for Sheet Pan Balsamic Tofu & Veggies

This sheet pan tofu recipe is simple, straightforward and (of course) TRULY flavorful! To make it all you’ll need is:

  • Tofu. For perfectly baked tofu that absorbs all of the savory flavor from the marinade, you’ll want to press the tofu. Here’s my guide to pressing tofu.
  • Marinade. This flavor-packed balsamic marinade is a simple mix of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, water, maple syrup, garlic and salt.
  • Veggies. We’re roasting up Brussels sprouts and butternut squash. Give them a speedy toss in a little olive oil and salt & pepper and they’re ready to go!

Short tip: Buy pre-cubed butternut squash in the produce department for speedy meal prep.

How to Make Sheet Pan Balsamic Tofu & Veggies

This method has so much flavor and is especially unfussy! Here’s the simple process, but for the full, printable recipe, reference the recipe card at the bottom of the page.

  1. Prep the tofu. Prep your tofu by following my instructions HERE for pressing tofu and cut it into your desired shapes. I like triangles or larger cubes for baking.
  2. Make the marinade. Whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, water, maple syrup, garlic and salt in a sealable bag or airtight container. Place the tofu pieces in the sauce and let marinate for 30 minutes (or even up to overnight).
  3. Prep the veggies. In a large bowl or directly on the baking sheet, toss together the sprouts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil + salt and pepper to taste. Spread on ⅓ of the baking sheet. In the same bowl or on the baking sheet, toss together the butternut squash cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive olive + salt and pepper to taste. Spread on ⅓ of the baking sheet.
  4. Bake. Line up the tofu in the remaining spot on the baking sheet. Place sheet pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, gently flipping everything halfway. It’s done when the squash and sprouts are fork tender.
  5. Serve. As desired, you can thicken the remaining marinade and turn it into a sauce for the tofu. To do this, place it in a small saucepan and whisk in 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Simmer over low heat for a few minutes until thickened. Pour sauce over the tofu and veggies and ENJOY!

Customize This Meal

While this dish is satisfying as-is, you can change up the ingredients to customize it to your taste preference or use up veggies you have on hand.

  • Low carb. Swap out the butternut squash for cauliflower or broccoli florets.
  • Other vegetables. Different vegetables can be substituted for the Brussels sprouts, such as broccoli, zucchini or asparagus. Also, feel free to use cubed sweet potato instead of butternut squash.
  • Flavorings. You can add a dash or two of any of your go-to spices or seasoning salts. Make it spicy by adding 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
