Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Cut zucchini into 1/4-inch rounds.
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1-inch pieces.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Zest half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 ppl). Cut both halves into wedges.
Roast veggies
2
  • Add zucchini, peppers and 1 tbsp oil to an unlined baking sheet. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, use 2 baking sheets, with 1 tbsp oil per sheet.)
  • Season with salt, pepper and Dill-Garlic Spice Blend. Toss to combine. 
  • Roast in the middle of the oven until tender, 14-15 min. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, roast in the top and middle of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.) 
Cook tofu
3
  • Meanwhile, pat tofu dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.) Season with salt and 2 tsp (4 tsp) Lemon-Pepper Seasoning.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Pan fry until golden, 2-3 min per side.
  • Transfer tofu to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
Make lemon cream sauce
4
  • Meanwhile, reheat the same pan (from step 3) over medium.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.
  • Add 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water, cream, broth concentrate and remaining Lemon-Pepper Seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 min.
  • Remove the pan from heat, then stir in half the lemon zest.
Finish and serve

  • When veggies are done, sprinkle with remaining lemon zest. Toss gently to coat.
  • Thinly slice tofu.
  • Divide tofu and veggies between plates.
  • Drizzle lemon cream sauce over tofu.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.
