Roasted Tofu with Harissa Sauce is an incredibly healthy vegan meal full of 7 grams of fiber and 10 grams of protein per serving. Harissa is a North African chili sauce that is really easy to make and bursting with flavor. I have this sauce in my fridge and I add it to chicken, beef, fish, pork, vegetables, and grains such as rice, couscous, or quinoa. I love this gourmet sauce on so many different dishes. You can make the sauce ahead and keep it for up to 1 week in your fridge. Pair the Roasted Tofu with Harissa Sauce with a side salad containing garbanzo beans for a complete, well-balanced meal.
