- Combine vinegar, oil, sugar, garlic, oregano and salt; mix well.
- Place tofu and vegetables in a shallow baking pan leaving enough space between the pieces for even roasting; brush with vinegar mixture. Let stand 30 minutes, brush again and let stand 30 minutes longer.
- Bake tofu, pepper and onion at 500°F 30 to 35 minutes. Turn once halfway through baking time. Add mushrooms during last half of roasting time. Transfer to platter and sprinkle with parsley.

Yes, every oven is different so you can go for 450 if you think it is too high, but the high temp helps give the right texture to the result.
Is this really cooked at 500 degrees for a half hour? That seems pretty hot and long for the tofu…Just wanted to check before I tried it.
Finally! an easy tofu recipe that tastes great. Thank you JOK…I have been waiting for this recipe for a long time…
