Make
- Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
- Spread potatoes out onto a sheet pan and cover tightly with foil. ‘Steam’ in oven for 10 minutes.
- While potatoes steam, toss tofu in spice mix.
- Once potatoes have steamed, remove foil and toss potatoes with cooking oil (the portion for the potatoes) and some salt and pepper. Return pan to oven and roast until potatoes are tender and golden brown, another 12 to 16 minutes.
- While potatoes finish cooking, place a skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil (the portion for the tofu) and tofu to hot oil. Saute until tofu is golden brown and crisp on the outside, 5 to 6 minutes. Add black beans and saute just to heat through.
