FAQ & Baked Teriyaki Tofu with Vegetables Tips:

  • Can you switch out the teriyaki for another sauce? 

    • Yep! Any sauce should work for this recipe. BBQ would be a good option or make your own. 
  • What should I serve alongside this bake? 

    • We recommend serving it over rice or another grain for a gluten-free option or you can serve it with crusty bread for a beautiful holiday meal.

  • Mix It Up

    • Feel free to substitute the tofu for another plant-based protein such as seitan or tempeh.
