Sweet and Sour Tofu with pineapple and bell peppers - the whole food plant-based version of sweet and sour chicken. High protein, gluten-free, and incredibly delicious!
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- In a medium bowl, toss the cubed tofu with the cornstarch.
- Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes.*
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, liquid aminos, garlic, red pepper flakes, and pepper.
- Heat a non-stick pan to medium heat. Add the onion, and peppers. Sauté, using the sauce as the cooking liquid, until the veggies are soft.
- Stir in the pineapple and cook a few minutes more.
- When the tofu is ready, add the tofu to the pan and stir to coat. Serve and enjoy!
*I did not have any issues with sticking, but it's possible that the tofu will stick to the foil. Check the tofu halfway through baking and add a few tablespoons of water or broth to the pan if you notice sticking.
