Ingredients
  

Rub

  • ½-1 Cauliflower broken into florets
  • 1 block tofu (pressed and patted dry, cut into cubes)
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp cumin powder
  • 2 tsp chilli powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • ¾ tsp kosher salt

  • 4 tbsp tamari
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp sriracha or favourite hot sauce
  • 3-4 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 F.

  • Mix the rub ingredients together. Sprinkle rub evenly over tofu and cauliflower.

Notes

If you'd like garnish, here's what you'll need:
  • Gem or butter lettuce
  • Herbs to your liking. I used cilantro and mint.
  • Fresh lime and green onion
  • Turmeric candied cashews. Any nut will do!
  • White and black sesame seeds
  • Thinly sliced cucumber
  • Thinly sliced watermelon radish
I took my BBQ TOFU recipe and doubled it for this dish.
I added 1/2 head of cauliflower to a block of tofu but a whole head of cauliflower would work too as my recipe here was very saucy.
Extra sauce = happiness.
