Honey-Sesame Tofu and Green Beans

• servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

12 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained and patted dry

Oil or cooking spray

2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

1 pound green beans, trimmed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 medium scallion, thinly sliced

1/4 teaspoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Line a large plate with paper towels, and place the tofu on top. Cover with more paper towels and place a heavy item on top, pressing down on the tofu. Set aside for 10 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 400°F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with cooking spray. Whisk the soy sauce or tamari, garlic, honey, ginger, and sesame oil together in a large bowl; set aside.

Step 2

Cut the tofu into triangles and place in a single layer on one half of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with the soy sauce mixture. Bake until golden-brown on the bottom, 12 to 13 minutes.

Step 3

Flip the tofu. Place the green beans in a single layer on the other half of the baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the red pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Return to the oven and bake until the tofu is golden-brown on the second side, 10 to 12 minutes more. Sprinkle with the scallions and sesame seeds and serve immediately.
