Recipe: Sesame Maple Roasted Tofu

This was my first time making this recipe, which I found on the Kashi website (go figure!). It turned out pretty good, but I think in the future I'd like to give the tofu time to marinate in the sauce.

ingredients:
1 14-ounce block extra-firm water-packed tofu, rinsed, patted dry and cut into 1-inch
cubes
1 medium red onion, sliced
1 tsp canola oil
2 tsps toasted sesame oil
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
1 Tbsp tahini
1 Tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce or tamari
2 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp cider vinegar
3 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed
1 Tbsp sesame seeds

directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Toss tofu, onion, canola oil, sesame oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread on a large baking sheet and roast until the tofu is lightly golden on top and the onions are browning in spots, 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Whisk tahini, soy sauce or tamari, maple syrup and vinegar in a small dish until combined. Remove the tofu from the oven, add snap peas and drizzle with the maple sauce; stir to combine. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Return to the oven and continue roasting until the peas are crisp-tender, 8 to 12 minutes more.

I ate this with japanese noodles, but it would probably be good with rice, too.
