Cubed extra-firm tofu is tossed with sliced red onions, canola oil and toasted sesame oil - the mixture is slid into a fiery oven and roasted until the onions begin to caramelize and the tofu gets a light golden color. When ready, crunchy sugar snap peas are added and the mixture is drizzled with a combination of tahini (sesame seed paste), soy sauce, pure maple syrup and cider vinegar that will transform in the oven from a liquid-y pool into a lip-smacking glaze that coats the tofu and veggies. Right before serving, a scattering of nutty toasted sesame seeds round out the dish. I didn't know if I would like the tahini mixed with the strong maple syrup, but the sweetness from the syrup married with the richness of the tahini quite well - you could substitute natural peanut butter if you don't already have tahini on hand.
