Miso Roasted Tofu With Sweet Potato Recipes

MISO ROASTED TOFU WITH SWEET POTATO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Wrap the tofu in kitchen paper, place in a shallow dish and put a heavy plate on top to help squeeze out the water. When the paper is wet, replace with another wrapping and weigh down again. Chop the tofu into medium cubes (about 2.5cm). In a small bowl, mix the dressing together with a whisk.
• Boil the beans for 1 min, then drain, rinse in cold water and set aside. Line a baking tray with parchment, spread out the tofu and pour over half the dressing. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top and mix well. Bake for 20-25 mins until golden and crisp. Meanwhile, cut the sweet potatoes in half, place in a bowl, cover with cling film and microwave for 10-15 mins until very soft.
• Mash the sweet potato and serve in bowls with the tofu, green beans, the dressing poured over and some spring onions sprinkled on top.

MISO BAKED TOFU

Steps:

• Preheat oven to broil or highest setting. Cover a cookie sheet with tin foil.
• Combine all ingredients except tofu and oil using blender or mixer. Slowly add oil and mix until smooth and creamy. Pour mixture into wide bowl or pan.
• Cut tofu into 1/2 inch thick pieces and dip into miso mixture until coated with a thin layer, reserving some of the mixture.
• Gently lay tofu pieces on covered cookie sheet. Broil 8-10 minutes until golden brown and slightly crisp.
• Remove from oven. Turn the pieces over and "baste" another layer of miso mixture over the pieces with a spoon.
• Broil 8-10 more minutes until browned and crisp.
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired and enjoy!

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH SWEET MISO-SCALLION BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Brush cut sides of sweet potatoes with olive oil. Lay cut side-down onto the baking sheet. Brush skins with olive oil.
• Roast in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare miso-scallion butter. Warm coconut oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and ginger and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and add miso, pressing miso against the saucepan with the back of a spoon to soften. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and scallion.
• Heat over low, stirring constantly, until sugar is completely melted and mixture is warmed through, about 3 minutes. Do not boil.
• Remove sweet potatoes from the oven and flip over. Cut a slit into the sweet potato flesh and spoon miso butter over the top.

SHEET-PAN CRISP TOFU AND SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange tofu pieces, cut sides down, on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Cover with another kitchen towel, and place a flat cutting board on top. If your cutting board is lightweight, stack a few cans or a skillet on top to weigh it down. Let tofu drain for at least 10 minutes (and up to 30 minutes), then transfer to a cutting board. Cut strips into 3/4-inch pieces (1-inch thick), and transfer to a medium bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk together oil, tamari, honey and 1 teaspoon vinegar. Toss half the mixture with the tofu, then toss in cornstarch. Arrange in a single layer on a rimmed sheet pan.
• On a separate rimmed sheet pan, toss together potato wedges, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer; do not crowd the pan. If they don't all fit, arrange extra wedges on the pan with the tofu.
• Bake tofu and potatoes until browned, 35 to 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through. If the tofu sticks (and this is likely), use a thin metal spatula to carefully loosen each one before flipping. A small offset spatula is perfect here.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine scallions, 1 tablespoon vinegar and a large pinch each sugar and salt. Let sit while tofu and potatoes roast.
• To serve, toss tofu with some of the reserved tamari sauce, to taste. Serve with potato wedges, topped with scallions, cilantro and a drizzle of hot sesame chile oil or sprinkling of red-pepper flakes, and more tamari sauce. Sprinkle with peanuts if desired.
