Tofu and Veggie BBQ Bowl. Veggies and Tofu tossed in from scratch barbecue seasoning and baked. Serve over quinoa dressed with bbq sauce. Vegan Nutfree Recipe. Can be gluten-free
Sometimes you want simple roasted bowl with simple flavor. But you know me, the flavors have got to be kicked up a bit. These BBQ Seasoning Roasted Veggies and Tofu come together very quickly and are perfect for the picnic and barbecue season!
For this Roasted veggie bowl, I make my own bbq seasoning. Smoky, sweet, spicy, savory. The blend can also can act as a rub if using vegan meat subs. Make a double batch of that bbq blend! Toss the veggies and tofu in the seasoning with a few tbsp breadcrumbs to pick up more of the seasoning. Roast, then serve over quinoa or greens. Dress liberally with bbq sauce. I have a from scratch soy free bbq sauce in Everyday Kitchen which will work wonderfully here. Or use other favorite vegan sauce. I used this blend on my BBQ Sweet Potato Pizza and the heat and smokyness went so well on sweet potatoes. Add some sweet potatoes to this bowl too.

This was very flavorful and filling. Made the BBQ sauce you put in the link. I doubled it so I could take it to work the next couple of days too. Thanks for another yummy recipe.

Just finished eating this for dinner. I didn’t have asparagus so used small zucchini and added some leftover butternut squash. I used a homemade Carolina-style (mustard) bbq sauce. Husband really like this dish!

Wow – so easy but so flavorful. We loved the spice rub and since I am not a big fan of BBQ sauce, I made a vegan ranch. Thanks for the recipe!

Awesome !! thank you

Amazing flavour!! I used frozen coliflower and it was delicious. Full of flavour!!! The only comme t would be that if you are watching the calories of your diet, the nutrition facts given are without the quinoa…i believe

OMG! This is soooo good! I used a full package of tofu, 8 ounces of asparagus, 1 green pepper, lots of cauliflower and broccoli. I forgot to add the carrots. I doubled the seasoning and had some left over that I’ll save for next time. I made the BBQ sauce from Everyday Kitchen. Should have doubled that sauce…will make another batch for tomorrow’s leftovers. Amazing, amazing dish. Could have eaten another serving. Can’t wait for leftovers for dinner tomorrow! Thank you, Richa!
Richa
awesome!

Delicious! I made it with all the veggies written in the recipe minus the asparagus, plus bit of red cabbage which I needed to salvage. My breadcrumbs were 3 tablespoons of oat bran, worked great. Since I didn’t have bbq sauce or the ingredients to make your version, I just made a simple salsa, which worked great. And the tofu was your chickpea tofu, which even though it turned a bit soft in the oven, was still delicious (I loved how THAT recipe was easy to make, and made a double batch half of which I then put in the freezer). All in all a fantastic recipe, Richa, thanks.
Richa
awesome!
