CAN YOU EVER have enough recipes for enjoying tofu? This one is very easy—a no-brainer. The roasted tofu is tasty enough to eat as it is—my kids will snack on roasted tofu straight out of the refrigerator. It also makes a superior base for a feast of roasted mushrooms—just pile the mushrooms on top of the roasted tofu. You can also cut the tofu into cubes and add them to a stir-fry.
