Ingredients
  

Roasted vegetables:
  • 1 small butternut squash, peeled and 3/4" cubes (approx. 3 cups)
  • 6-7 oz brussel sprouts, stems trimmed, cut in half (approx. 2 cups)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • sea salt and pepper
Tofu:
  • 14 oz extra firm tofu, pressed, 1" cubed
  • 3 tbsp arrowroot starch (potato or cornstarch)
  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • sea salt and pepper
Assemble
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup goat feta cheese
  • 1/4 pecans
  • fresh parsley

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • large skillet

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, spread out butternut squash at one end of the pan and brussel sprouts on the opposite end. Season both with salt and pepper, add olive oil and maple syrup and toss. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the squash and brussel sprouts are tender and golden.
  2. While the squash and brussel sprouts are roasting, press tofu lightly with paper towel or a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy bowl over it for 10-15 minutes up to 30 minutes to release all the moisture.
    Season the cubed tofu with arrowroot starch, paprika, garlic powder, sea salt and pepper, gentle toss. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat, add tofu and pan sear until crispy on all sides, about 10-12 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  3. In a serving bowl, arrange the roasted vegetables, pan seared tofu, then add dried cranberries, feta and pecans with fresh parsley. Enjoy!
