This Sheet Pan Crispy Tofu and Veggies with Peanut Sauce is an easy way to get dinner on the table. Made with an irresistible peanut sauce!
Sheet pan meals and one pan recipes are a no-brainer for getting meals on the table quickly with less clean-up. When I worked as a teacher, I cooked one pan meals several times a week.
Green Curry with Tofu and Vegetables is one of my all-time favorites, and Tofu Scramble will always be in my repertoire.
After getting a bunch of vegetables from Market on the Move, a program here in Arizona, I decided a Sheet Pan Crispy Tofu and Veggies with Peanut Sauce was in order.
I used roasted cauliflower, sweet potato, and eggplant for my sheet pan recipe, but you could use any of your favorite vegetables. Just make sure to chop your vegetables according to their cooking time.
You'll notice in the photos that I chopped the sweet potatoes into small chunks. That was intentional to keep the cooking times of the vegetables the same.
If you prefer the same sized veggies, then you'll need to adjust the cooking times.
I first debuted this Peanut Sauce in my Thai Pizza recipe, which was a hit, so I thought I'd use it again here. It's so good that I could literally drink the sauce.
Peanut soup, anyone?

Tips For Making A Sheet Pan Meal
- Adjust sizes of vegetables or cooking times, depending on what's more important to you. If you want equal sized vegetables, than you'll need to add veggies at different times. If you prefer for the vegetables to be done at the same time, you'll need to adjust their size. Of course, you could always choose vegetables that cook at the same time. I used what I had on hand.
- Tofu takes longer to bake than most vegetables, so it needs to be put in the oven before the vegetables for the best texture.
- Don't brush too much peanut sauce on the tofu when baking - it will bake onto the parchment paper. Not to mention you'll want the extra sauce for drizzling on the finished tofu and veggies.
- Serve over quinoa, rice, or rice noodles, if desired.
