WELCOME TO MEAL PREP 2023! Sadly I think we?re all heading back to work or school after a gorgeous break BUT your lunches don?t have to be bland and boring just because the weather is! ?? One of my favourite things to meal prep is this crispy tofu, roasted veggies and a creamy almond butter sauce ????

Crispy Tofu:
1/2 block of tofu, sliced into 4 slabs
1/2 cup cornflake crumbs, breadcrumbs etc
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp paprika
pinch of salt and pepper
1/3 cup nondairy milk
a few tbsp of oil for frying

Roasted Veggies:
approx. 2 cups of sliced veggies like peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, onion, use your favourites!
olive oil
salt and pepper

Almond Butter Sauce:
2 heaping tbsp almond butter 2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
1 tbsp sriracha

1. Place veggies on sheet pan and drizzle oil over top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Bake at 400F for approx 20 minutes or until slightly softened and starting to char on the edges.
2. Meanwhile, preheat a frying pan to medium high heat. Add a few tbsp oil.
3. Stir together breadcrumbs, flour, paprika, salt and pepper. Dip tofu in the nondairy milk, then dip in the breading mixture until coated.
4. Fry in pan for about 4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Stir together sauce and add a tbsp of water as needed to thin it out.

Enjoy and let me know what you?re bringing for lunch back to school and work these days! ?
