Tofu Sheet Pan Dinner Recipe FAQs

Do you need to press the tofu for this recipe?

Some mentioned you could get away with not pressing the tofu, but this extra prep work is worth it, as eliminating the excess water will make the tofu crispier and help it absorb the marinade better. 

What to serve with sheet pan tofu?

Besides white rice, this delicious sheet pan meal goes well with noodles or even quinoa! You can also garnish the dish with scallions, sesame seeds, or red pepper flakes.

Can I use soft tofu instead of extra firm tofu?

No. Use extra firm tofu for the best texture. Firm tofu might also work. 

Can you freeze tofu after cooking?

Freezing cooked tofu is often discouraged because of the resulting change in texture. 

Can you defrost tofu in warm water?

Yes. Place frozen tofu under warm water so it’ll be easier to remove from its packaging. Then, thaw it in the microwave at 1-minute intervals on high, pressing in between intervals to check the center.
