Cooking Tips

  • 1. The tofu and sweet potato can be cooked on the same baking sheet (if large enough), but arrange them separately and be careful to remove each ingredient when done, as they may have different bake times.
  • 2. Try using one of our dressings or sauces such as the All-Purpose Vinaigrette or the Italian Vinaigrette .
