Tofu Sheet pan meal with tofu, vegetables, and “cheezy” no-cheese miso tahini sauce. Serve over quinoa or by itself for an easy and filling weeknight dinner.
Happy Monday, friends!
I have a new/old one-pan meal recipe for you today.
New/old?
Let me explain.
I still remember the day I first made and photographed this Tofu Sheet Pan Meal with “Cheezy” Miso Tahini Sauce.
It was one of those shoots that really flowed, trying out new angles on my sleek new black granite photography board, each new shot seeming a little better than the last.
I mean, roasted veggies and lightly browned tofu glistening with a creamy miso-tahini drizzle?
Looking good, one-pan meal.
I also remember the day that I lost all of the photos on my computer.
I’ve gotten a *little* better about photo storage, but back in those days I followed a game plan that went a little something like this:
Pack my hard-drive full of as many pretty plant-based photos as technologically possible until it annoyed me with enough pop up errors to prompt me to delete some.
It worked, until it didn’t, and my computer shut down down and then refused to restart no matter how many times I jabbed at the power button.
The poor thing had had had plenty enough of the perpetual photo sabotage, no matter how delicious it all looked, and was OUT.
This Recipe is a Survivor!
After sitting for what felt like forever on a Saturday morning at Apple, the team member took one look at my memory-less computer Mac-Book Pro and said the words I’d been dreading–
Total restore.
The girl then proceeded asked me if I had a lot of content on my computer that would be lost.
I mean, nothing major, just my entire photoshoot for Tofu Sheet Pan Meal with “Cheezy” Miso Tahini Sauce.
A big freakin’ loss, if you ask me, but I gritted my teeth and watched the loading bar on the computer screen go from 0 to 100.
There was one photo that somehow survived, a preview photo that I teased on Instagram, saying, “COMING SOON!”
How to Make This Tofu Sheet Pan Meal
Does two years later count as “soon”?
Even now, I couldn’t get this meal, or those photos out of my head.
So I rephotographed this meal to share with you guys so you can be mesmerized too and I can be a woman of her word.
My typical one-pan meals are usually chickpea and veggie based with different spices, herbs, and seasonings.
This one, however, incorporates cubed tofu as a source of protein.
Tofu browns beautifully alongside the veggies here for a protein-packed entree that’s ideal for meal prep and busy weeknight dinners.
How to Serve This Tofu Sheet Pan Meal
There’s no need to press the tofu here; you want juicier tofu cubes to to survive the bake time.
A simple dried rosemary and thyme blend keeps things cozy, fragrant, and perfectly seasoned.
The trick to achieving even baking with all of the different vegetables and textures in this meal is to spread the contents between two baking sheets.
Serve the roasted veggies over quinoa for even more protein or by itself for a full meal.
Don’t forget the optional drizzle of “cheezy” miso tahini sauce for even more more ways to one up your one pan.

Absolutely loved this recipe! Simple, fun, filling, and very satisfying. Sauce is versatile, too. I used the extra as “queso” with blue corn chips as a side. Will definitely be making it again! Thank you!

This is one recipe I come back for again and again! I’m absolutely obsessed with the cheesy miso dressing and it goes so well with any roasted veggies. I’ve tried this dish with millet in place of quinoa and beans in place of tofu and all combinations are delicious. 😛
