Lemon Herb Baked Tofu with Asparagus

Ingredients

• 16 oz extra-firm tofu
• 1 lb asparagus
• 1 lemon
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Press tofu to remove excess water, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Add tofu cubes to the bowl and toss gently to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
4. Trim woody ends from asparagus and toss with the marinated tofu on a large sheet pan, spreading in a single layer.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tofu is golden and asparagus is tender-crisp.
6. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
