Sometimes you want simple roasted bowl with simple flavor. But you know me, the flavors have got to be kicked up a bit. These BBQ Seasoning Roasted Veggies and Tofu come together very quickly and are perfect for the picnic and barbecue season!
For this Roasted veggie bowl, I make my own bbq seasoning. Smoky, sweet, spicy, savory. The blend can also can act as a rub if using vegan meat subs. Make a double batch of that bbq blend! Toss the veggies and tofu in the seasoning with a few tbsp breadcrumbs to pick up more of the seasoning. Roast, then serve over quinoa or greens. Dress liberally with bbq sauce. I have a from scratch soy free bbq sauce in Everyday Kitchen which will work wonderfully here. Or use other favorite vegan sauce. I used this blend on my BBQ Sweet Potato Pizza and the heat and smokyness went so well on sweet potatoes. Add some sweet potatoes to this bowl too.
