Honey Pineapple Tofu Bowl -Sheet Pan Dinner 5 ingredients

It’s double recipe week this week! I am trying something new and joining the Recipe Redux crew for their monthly recipe challenge. This month’s sheet pan dinner was a fun change of pace for me. I challenged myself even more to choose a recipe with only 5 ingredients so I could also continue to join my friends over at the Friday Five. I hope you all enjoy this easy Honey Pineapple Tofu Bowl Sheet Pan Dinner.

Honey Pineapple Tofu Bowl- Sheet Pan Dinner 5 ingredients

Looking for an easy, healthy and fabulously tasty weeknight vegetarian dinner? I’ve got you covered. I am the first to admit that prepping lots of veggies on a rushed night can be a little much. With only 5 main ingredients, this Honey Pineapple Tofu Bowl can be prepped and on your table in under 40 minutes. These 5 easy ingredients will turn into this amazing bowl of goodness.

Many of the ingredients (pineapple, green beans and peppers) can also be bought pre cut saving you a little time. The simple marinade can be made in advance as well or whisked up a la minute. If you have never baked pineapple before, you are in for a serious treat. The sweet smell of the caramelized pineapple is to die for and the flavors just pop as you roast it up. You can then use the pineapple juice to pour over the bowl for more flavor.

I used brown rice for the base of the bowl but you could easily sub that out for a quicker cooking quinoa or any grain of your choosing.

Wondering if your kids will eat this? My 17 year old son walked in from school while I was cooking and actually asked if he could have some for a snack?! No one was more surprised than I was! It smells that good and he loved it.

I will certainly be trying to think up some more 1 pan meals for you all because this Honey Pineapple Tofu Bowl could not be easier. The left overs make a great lunch the next day.

Are you a fan of 1 pan meals? Roasted pineapple?

    This looks fantastic! Most sheet pan dinners are either chicken or seafood. This is so different.

  2. Dagmara says

    I am definitely a fan of this. I like tofu, it’s such a flexible ingredient as it takes on whatever flavors you decide to add and it’s packed with protein.

    I really enjoy making one pan meals, mostly for the easy clean up after. 🙂 Thank you for sharing, this is the perfect combination of savory and sweet.

  10. Marina @ Happy Healing says

    Wow – this looks incredible. I love tofu and eat it probably 4x/week and am always looking for new ways to prepare it! I’m also trying to make my fiance like it 😉 I’ve gotta try this. Thanks, Deborah!

  11. Sandra Laflamme says

    This looks so great and I am coming to like tofu more now that I know how to prepare it properly. My 9 year old daughter would love this. She has always loved tofu!

      Really never?! It takes on the flavor of what ever you cook it with. Depending on how you cook it it’s either soft or crispy. Try it you might like it

  13. Kimberly Hatting says

    Well, you had me at pineapple and peppers…but the green beans and tofu kind of lost me LOL That said, this dish does sound appealing with all the flavor from the pineapple and peppers…so maybe…just maybe…I’ll give it a try…maybe… 😉

      So my grocery has ginger paste in plastic tubes (along with a bunch of other spices) right where they sell the fresh herbs. Check there!
