Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 1-2
Ingredients
1 block of firm tofu
1/2 cauliflower, trimmed and cut through the core into 1-inch planks
3/4 cup cherry tomatoes
2 cups salad(arugula & baby spinach)
1/2 bell pepper
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
salt & pepper to taste

Prepare all the vegetables while waiting for the tofu.
Preheat oven to 475℉.
Cut the pressed tofu into cubes.
Toss together the tomatoes, garlic, cauliflower, tofu, and bell peppers evenly with olive oil (reserve 1 tbsp of oil for serving). Season with salt & pepper. then arrange on a sheet pan. Place the sheet on the top rack and roast until undersides are golden (about 15 minutes). Flip and remove the garlic to prevent it from burning. Roast for another 10 minutes.
Toss all of the roasted vegetables onto a plate, add your green salad, and drizzle balsamic vinegar with olive oil. Top it off with some pecans.
Enjoy 😋😉
