This Greek Tofu & Veggies recipe is full-proof. Marinated tofu is baked until crispy and served with a non-dairy lemon yogurt sauce!
This is one of those weeknight recipes you’ll want to make over and over again. The tofu and veggies are marinated and baked together on one tray. The lemon yogurt sauce is tangy & delicious. This all comes together super quickly and is great for meal prep!
How to Make the Tofu & Veggies
The marinade is packed with flavor and gives this tofu a bold flavor. I LOVE smoked paprika, and that really is the star of this marinade.
Combine olive oil & dry seasonings in a large bowl. Add the pressed tofu, red onion and bell pepper. Give everything a good toss and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes. If you plan to marinate it for longer than that, cover it and place it in the fridge.
After it is marinated, transfer everything to a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes. Everything should be a little crispy.
How to Make Lemon Yogurt Sauce
The sauce for this recipe is incredibly easy and has a super bold flavor. Combine non-dairy yogurt (I like Kite Hill) in a bowl with vegan mayo, lemon juice, lemon pepper, dried oregano & fresh garlic.
Give it a mix and taste it – you may want to add more garlic or lemon juice! I personally love extra garlic in this one! Set this aside until you are ready to serve.
How to Serve
Pull the tofu & veggies out of the oven and plate them over hot rice with chopped romaine, lemon yogurt sauce and vegan feta. I also like to have some lemon wedges & pita on the side.
If you are making this for meal prep, add the cooled rice, romaine, tofu & veggies to individual containers and keep the sauce and feta on the side. These can be reheated or eaten as a room temp bowl.

Notes
Could you do this on the grill as tofu veggie kabobs? Â Or would the marinade burn?
I made the tofu and loved it! Didn’t have the yoghurt so I subbed a vegan tzaiki sauce that Inhad on hand. Can’t wait to try it exactly as you suggest.Â
What’s a good vegan feta to use? I used to love feta and haven’t been able to find a good substitute for it yet.
I really like the one from Trader Joe’s!
This was easy and fantastic! Just about to make it for the second time this week as my partner inhaled most of the first batch while I wasn’t looking. 🙂 thank you!
