Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Toss the diced potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

  3. 3

    While potatoes are roasting, cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes. Pat dry with a paper towel.

  4. 4

    Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove tofu and set aside.

  5. 5

    In the same skillet, add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add garlic and red bell pepper; cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Stir in crushed tomatoes, sweet paprika, cayenne (if using), sugar, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.

  7. 7

    Add the crispy tofu to the tomato sauce and stir to coat.

  8. 8

    In a large casserole dish, layer the roasted potatoes and pour the tofu-tomato mixture over the top. Gently mix to combine.

  9. 9

    Return the casserole to the oven for 10 minutes to meld flavors.

  10. 10

    Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
