Ingredients

  • 2 lbs tofu
  • 2 tbsp tamari
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup garlic hummus
  • 2 cups broccoli
  • 1 head cauliflower chopped

Place in a shallow baking dish and add the tamari, avocado oil, maple syrup, and corn starch. Let it sit for 10 minutes to marinate, ensuring all of the tofu is covered.
  2. In a separate bowl, add hummus to broccoli and cauliflower. Mix until veggies are evenly coated.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the “hummused” broccoli and cauliflower to the pan. Drizzle with avocado oil. Add the marinated tofu to the baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping the tofu halfway through.
