Sheet Pan Tofu Pitas Step-by-Step
Recipe Tips
Meal Prep
- Pre-chop the veggies: Slice the bell peppers, onions, and potatoes ahead of time to streamline prep.
- Marinate the tofu early: Letting the tofu sit in the seasoning mix for 30+ minutes enhances flavor.
- Batch cook for leftovers: The roasted tofu, chickpeas, and veggies store well for up to 5 days in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for crispiness.
Adapting for Non-Vegans
- Serve with additional proteins: Double the seasoning and roast chicken, shrimp, or lamb on a separate sheet pan.
- Offer multiple toppings: Have feta and dairy-based tzatziki available for non-vegans while keeping vegan versions on the table.
- Swap the tofu: If someone isn’t a fan of tofu, try store-bought vegan chicken or grilled portobello mushrooms.
What To Serve With Sheet Pan Tofu Pitas
1. Fresh side salad
A simple cucumber, tomato, and red onion salad with lemon dressing compliments the meal beautifully.
2. Extra dips
Pair with homemade hummus, baba ganoush, or vegan garlic sauce for more variety.
3. Pickled veggies
Pickled red onions or turnips add a tangy contrast to the rich flavors.
4. Soup pairing
Serve with a light lentil soup or avgolemono-inspired lemon orzo soup for a cozy dinner.
