On a parchment-lined sheet-pan, zucchini, mushrooms, onion and tofu ( or chicken)  are drizzled with a simple miso sesame marinade, next to the cauliflower rice. Then it is baked!

Here I’m using tofu, but chicken breast will work well too!

  1. This is my go-to site whenever I need a recipe. Had some cauliflower rice, searched the site and found this one. Very good as always!






  2. i love this recipe so much! I’ve been using it consistently for over 2 years now. i usually make this and then get a rotisserie chicken and add chicken on top. it’s phenomenal, and I usually make double the marinade because it. is. that. good. can’t recommend it enough.






  3. Another winner! I used two sheet pans as I had more than enough vegetables to use up…zucchini, shiitakes, onions, butternut squash, Japanese sweet potato. I loved the marinade, which I doubled, particularly on the shiitakes and onions. Topped it all with avocado, furikake and a couple of other suggestions.






  4. Shame that people don’t appreciate the time and money that goes into creating and posting recipes without complaining about creators needing revenue from ads






  5. YES, I know they are annoying-sorry. You can always use the “jump to recipe” button at the top of each post to avoid them. Ads are how we are able to provide you with free content. It’s just part of the business of blogging. Sites that do not have ads, usually charge a membership fee. We do not.

  6. Made this a second time with chicken tenders instead of tofu (absolutely LOVED with tofu) and felt the chicken were missing something, the miso marinade was great with the tofu and veggies but a little bland for the chicken . I cooked them the full 30 minutes and would cook for less time next time (the chicken was a little dry, my own fault) and would use chicken thighs instead. Still love the flavor the miso gives to the veggies!






  7. Easy to make and really flavorful. Used two separate trays for more space, one just cauliflower rice. Topped with avocado, hemp seeds, sriracha, and a little low sodium soy sauce.






  8. I made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! I found your blog yesterday and I am so excited to try your recipes. I love your perspective! Thanks for sharing.
