When I first created this dish, I just wanted something new.
Tofu and veggies in the oven? Been there, done that.
So I added colorful veggies, tofu cubes, olive oil, garlic, spices – the usual.
🍋 And then the twist happened
Two tablespoons of preserved lemon and a dash of liquid smoke completely changed the game.
Suddenly, the whole thing transformed – bold flavors, deep aroma, and that unexpected baked fish vibe, without a trace of fish.
🥦 What’s actually in it?
Tofu, sweet potato, zucchini, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil, spices – and the magic of preserved lemon.
Bake for 30 minutes, serve with white rice, and you’ve got a full meal with barely any effort.
🧡 It’s a keeper
Since that first bite, this dish has earned a regular spot at our table.
It’s tasty, easy to make, and just as good the next day💛
Enjoy every bite – and feel the comfort all the way through😋💛
