Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
In a large bowl, mix the marinade ingredients together until creamy. Add the cubed tofu and gently stir to coat. Set aside until the oven is preheated.
Once the oven is preheated, arrange the tofu on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
While the tofu is baking, prep the brussels sprouts. Add the thinly sliced brussels sprouts to the same large bowl that the tofu was in (no need to clean it first). Add the zest of 1 lemon, the juice of half the lemon, 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and a generous amount of ground black pepper. Mix so the brussels are well coated.
Once 15 minutes have passed, remove the tofu from the oven, flip the tofu, and push to one half of the sheet pan. Evenly spread the brussels sprouts on the other half of the sheet pan. Put everything back in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the brussels sprouts are softened and just beginning to brown.
Mix the tofu and brussels together on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with almonds, cranberries, feta (if using), and fresh herbs. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

The easiest way to slice the brussels sprouts is using food processor with the slicing blade attachment (most come with one). Just pop them down the chute and, voila, perfectly sliced brussels. Alternatively, you can very thinly slice the brussels sprouts by hand.
