My dinner last night was fabulous! Good enough to blog about IMO :)
I rarely eat Tofu
, and when I do, it's usually when someone else makes it...
I cubed up some Extra Firm Tofu
and mixed it with kabocha squash,
broccoli, asparagus, brussel sprouts, green beans, leeks, kale, and onion
Before baking, I made a quick marinade of mustard
, balsamic vinegar
, dill,
nutritional yeast
, garlic powder
, cayenne, and black pepper, which I poured on top...
Baked for 45-50 minutes @ 385F
After passing time watching Oprah
until it was done,
my Oven Roasted Vegetables looked like this...
Now I understand why you guys told me, "Kelsey, you need to try baked kabocha squash!"
Lastly, just a reminder that you still have until Friday
to enter my Herbivore Giveaway Prize Pack!
YUM!!! That looks FABULOUS!!! I love kabocha....even though I've only tried it once :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you came by my blog! Please feel free to come back anytime! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you make tofu look tasty!
I had oven roasted vegetables the other night and thought about you! They were so good!
ReplyDeleteI agree... definitely good enough to blog about! ;)
ReplyDelete<3 <3
Well if that's not the most delicious looking thing I've ever seen, I don't know what is...
ReplyDeletesometimes there is nothing better than roasted veg with a good marinade. and yours sounds like a winner!
ReplyDeleteoh if you like it roasted, try steamed kabocha. it's like friggin dessert! cut into chunks and steam for 15mins, then pop your bowl of steamed kabocha into the freezer for 10mins and then take it out and enjoy. the texture is out of this world! i rarely eat tofu either but i kinda want to now haha. thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy kinda dinner right there!! And kabocha is my true squash love! I put leftover roasted kabocha in a smoothie once... my god... best smoothie EVER!
ReplyDeleteyeeaaah girl kabocha's the best!
ReplyDeletemmmm i need some kabocha! i have a huge butternut i've gotta use up first, though :)
ReplyDeletexo.
Dont forget your healthy fats my love!
ReplyDeleteYour roast veggies look phenom. I'm a big fan of tofu but I'm still trying to figure out the best way to make it!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like my IDEAL dinner! So good!
ReplyDeleteSans the onions, that looks delicious! I haven't bought tofu in a while, I just put it on my list! :D
ReplyDeleteholy crap that looks so delish! roasted veggies are soo amazing!
ReplyDeleteyummy! and what's easier than roasting veggies? thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI'm just getting into tofu - roasting/baking it seems the nicest way to have it. You're veggies look fab - I've never had roasted broccoli before, I'm definitely going to give it a go.
ReplyDeleteK that dressing sounds/looks awesome!! Do you use a recipe or just eyeball everything? I love that your tofu is made in victoria :)
ReplyDeleteI think I might just have to try this! I've never had tofu, but I bought some and didn't know what to do with it! I trust your recipes, girl!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so healthy and colorful. I've only recently started roasting vegetables and I'm a fan! :)
ReplyDeletei cannot think of anything better than oven roasted veg! im eating some RIGHT now actually with cottage cheese for dippin!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmmm, lots of things that I like on your baking tray! Roasted kabocha is heaven, of course, and I also love asparagus, onion, broccoli, and green beans. Have to try firm tofu, makes me curious.
ReplyDeleteyumm that looks SO good!!
ReplyDeleteand YES to a package exchange :)
YUM! Your dinner looks amazing! I've only tried roasted squash once but yes, it is beyond delicious.
ReplyDeleteI love how tofu is completely at the whims of its marinade! I'll try this one out soon for sure!
ReplyDeleteI am so hungry now!!!
ReplyDeleteI never thought of roasting tofu with veggies, awesome! I cannot cook tofu so this looks like something I couldn't mess up! Kabocha is still on my list of things to try for sure! I can never find it.

Kels,
ReplyDeleteThanks for checkin in on me at my blog, girl :) I really need to write an update soon, but life has been crazy since I got back to school! It's good and bad, but I'm hanging in there and trying to make it all happen. Thanks for the support. I don't always get a chance to write, but I love catching up on your blog.
As always, the eats look great, and am so proud of youu :) Always here to lend an ear!
<3
Wow, yummy!!! No olive oil either? Did it have enough flavor for you? I am inspired!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know all your fave recipes from GC! I can't wait to make them, they sound so good. Of course you would recommend the muffins- I would expect nothing less :)
ReplyDeleteRoasted veggies are a favourite of mine, but I've never tried kabocha squash either. I guess I'm late to the party on that one, since everyone seems to be obsessed with it!
Have a good night love xo
There honestly is nothing better in the winter than roasted vegetables. They are just so filling and delicious. I could eat them every night for dinner if I had the veggies.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great one-dish wonder!
ReplyDeleteMarry me! And make me this every night for dinner. ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope you ate that whole pan :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE roasted vegetables...and lately butternut squash has been my life. I ate a whole one just on its own in one sitting...
I wish I was smart like you and just used healthy spices and seasonings - I constantly put spaghetti/tomato sauce on EVERYTHING with cheese...ugh, I need to stop but it's like an addiction...
Hey Kelsey! Thank you so much for your kind words, it means the world to me that someone actually likes my paintings hehe and you are effortlessly gorgeous too hun :)
ReplyDeleteYummy dinner! I've never tried tofu any other way but scrambled and I wasn't crazy about it. Am I missing out? It seems really bland to me, I must be doing it wrong!
xoxo
Lola
This looks SO AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteI really like the sound of the marinade - yum yummm.And I've never thought to roast tofu with vegetables before.
Your blog posts are always short, sweet, and to the point. In this case, it's a "I told you so!!" moment: YES! I'm glad you tried kabocha!! And loved it! :D
ReplyDeleteOhhhh I need to try this. I have tofu on hand and am looking to mix it up with how I make it!
ReplyDeleteI need to get me some kabocha! Mmm mmm! So glad you enjoyed it. Oven roasted veggies are the BEST.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried roasting tofu, but it sounds good...did it dry out at all?
Roasted veggies are the best! I've tried tofu once and i was not a fan of the texture, I'm going to have to try the extra firm!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much on the advice for the supplements! <3
Love oven roasted veggies! This looks like my kind of dinner :)
ReplyDeleteHubby hates tofu, but I actually like it. I think it just gets a bad rap cause of it's blandness. If done properly, it actually is really good and your meal is a perfect example.
ReplyDeleteThis dinner rocks my world! Oven-roasted kabocha is the BEST.
ReplyDeleteI love my oven roasted veggies too :)
ReplyDeletethis is so good! oven roasted veggies are awesome. i've never tried kabocha squash though, and i can't find it! :(
ReplyDeleteum yummm, that looks amazing...minus the tofu of course...fill me in with some beef lol
ReplyDeletedont worry your not the only one, i havent tried kabocha either. i saw it at the asian store the other day
That looks great! I love roasted veggies....although I'm still a little scared of adding tofu. I just am not crazy about the texture, but I think I need to experiment with it a little!
ReplyDeleteThat's it, I'm adding kabocha squash to my grocery list. Your pics do a good job of selling it! I made roasted veggies today too, but mine were less exotic than yours: yam, turnip, onion, garlic, carrot.
ReplyDeleteYum this looks delicious! I've been wanting to experiment with tofu and will probably give this a shot sometime this week!
