Instructions

Prep the tofu. You can press it for 20 to 30 minutes to remove extra water if desired (optional), using a tofu press or by placing the block between two plates with a stack of books on top. Dice into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large glass bowl or rectangular dish that allows the tofu to be spread out in a single layer (or almost single layer).
Whisk together the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Pour this over the tofu in the dish. Stir gently to ensure it's all coated. Cover and put in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or even overnight to marinate.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet, preferably a half sheet pan, with parchment paper or a silicone mat. If you don't have a large baking sheet that will allow you to spread the veggies and tofu out in a single layer without overlapping, use two baking sheets. The tofu and veggies will get crispier if they have more room to be spread out.
Prepare the vegetables by tossing them in olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Place them on the prepared baking sheet(s). I like to do one section for broccoli and one section for sweet potato, but you can mix them together if desired. Put the marinated tofu on another section of the baking sheet(s).
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the veggies are tender and lightly browned and the tofu is browned and slightly crispy on the outside.
Serve drizzled with more barbecue sauce. Enjoy!
