Sheet Pan Spicy Tofu + Green Beans is a flavorful, plant-based meal made with crispy roasted tofu, tender green beans, and a bold, spicy sauce. It’s easy, healthy, and perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 1 block (14 oz) firm or extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 12 oz fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or neutral oil, divided
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari (gluten-free option)
  • 1–2 tbsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce (to taste)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: sesame seeds, sliced green onions, crushed red pepper for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Press tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove moisture. Cut into bite-sized cubes.
  3. In a bowl, toss tofu with 1 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Spread tofu on half of the sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, toss green beans with remaining 1 tbsp oil, salt, and pepper.
  6. Add green beans to the other half of the sheet pan and roast everything for another 15–20 minutes until tofu is golden and beans are tender.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining soy sauce, sriracha, maple syrup, vinegar, and minced garlic to make the spicy sauce.
  8. Remove pan from oven and drizzle sauce over tofu and green beans. Toss gently to coat.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.

Notes

  • For extra crispy tofu, increase cornstarch slightly or use an air fryer.
  • Adjust spiciness by reducing or increasing the sriracha.
  • Serve with steamed rice, noodles, or quinoa for a complete meal.
  • Store sauce separately if prepping in advance for better texture when reheated.
