Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block of firm tofu, pressed and sliced into steaks
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Plant-based milk (optional for creaminess)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix soy sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the tofu steaks and let marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
- Place chopped sweet potatoes in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Transfer marinated tofu to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through for even cooking.
- Drain the cooked sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Add minced garlic and plant-based milk (if using). Mash until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Plate the smoky tofu steaks next to a generous scoop of creamy mashed sweet potatoes. Enjoy!
Notes
Use a heavy skillet for the best sear on the tofu before baking. Add more spices to the sweet potatoes for extra flavor.
