Cut tofu into about 10 slices and then cut cross-hatch patterns into those slices.

Freeze tofu overnight and then thaw in the fridge to create air pockets for better marinade absorption.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce to create the marinade.

Add the tofu slices to the marinade and coat them well, allowing them to soak for up to 4 hours if time permits.

Dice 5 medium potatoes into small bite-sized pieces for even cooking.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Spread the diced potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, seasoning salt, and fresh ground black pepper.

Roast the potatoes in the oven for 25 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

Add 4 cups of frozen broccoli to the baking sheet with the potatoes, seasoning with olive oil, seasoning salt, and black pepper.

Continue roasting the broccoli and potatoes until cooked through, draining excess water from the broccoli if necessary.

In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and pan-fry the marinated tofu for 3 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown.

Once the tofu is cooked, separate it into four meal prep containers along with the roasted potatoes and broccoli.

Broil the potatoes for a few minutes to crisp them up, flipping them carefully to avoid burning.

Drizzle the leftover marinade over the cooked tofu before serving.
