Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
- Gather all your ingredients. I often find that having everything on hand helps me avoid scrambling last minute. Start with the potatoes. Peel and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Press the Tofu
- Next, take your firm tofu and press it for about 10 minutes. If you’ve never pressed tofu before, it’s as simple as wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing something heavy on top. This removes excess moisture, allowing the tofu to absorb flavors better.
Step 3: Slice and Dice
- Now, it’s time to prepare the other veggies. Slice the red onion and cremini mushrooms as uniformly as possible. This ensures even cooking.
Step 4: Mix the Marinade
- In a bowl, combine the tamari sauce, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, smoked paprika, celery salt, and a sprinkle of black pepper. This marinade adds depth and character to our dish.
Step 5: Combine Ingredients
- In a large bowl, add the potatoes, mushrooms, onions, and tofu. Pour the marinade over the top. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Step 6: Roast on a Sheet Pan
- Spread the mixture onto a lined sheet pan in a single layer. Make sure everything has enough space. This encourages a nice, crispy texture.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once it reaches the right temperature, pop your sheet pan in and let it bake for about 30 to 35 minutes. Stir halfway through for even roasting.
Step 8: Check for Crispiness
- You'll know it’s done when the potatoes are golden brown and the tofu has crisped up nicely. The delightful aroma should fill your kitchen.

Notes
Here are some tips to elevate your sheet pan experience:
- Experiment with Seasoning: Swap out the herbs and spices to suit your palate.
- Add Veggies: Feel free to incorporate other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini.
- Adjust Cooking Time: Depending on your oven, check the dish a few minutes earlier to avoid overcooking.
- Marinating Time: Letting the tofu and veggies marinate for an hour can enhance the taste.
- Experiment with Oils: Try different oils, such as olive oil, for varied flavor profiles.
