Tofu Ball and Butterbean Traybake
One of the most common questions we get asked is how to make tofu taste good. A great way to achieve better-tasting tofu is to experiment with its tex...ture. This traybake transforms a block of tofu into succulent “meatballs,” baked with juicy vegetables and butterbeans for added protein. We used a jar of good quality shop-bought pesto but if time permits you can make your own. Enjoy on its own as a lighter meal, or serve with grilled sourdough to mop up the juices.

Cooked up nicely, added garlic to the tofu balls for some extra flavour, next time maybe add some pesto to the tofu for extra flavour - tasted great
I cooked the tofu balls as l already had leftovers that needed something to go with it. I crumbled the tofu quite small and as well as the ingredients l added granulated garlic and used gram flour. I really liked the tofu balls they cooked well in a separate over proof container with a little spray of oil. Im vegan so l replaced the egg with tbs of flax and a small amount of water. They were delicious
Hi I made this last night and we loved the tofu balls. They’re like stuffing balls which was my favourite part of a roast dinner. But the base felt like it just had boiled, it felt very underwhelming to be honest. None of the flavour I love from roast pepper and cauliflower. But today I put the leftovers at 180c for 15 mins then added balls to reheat and it’s charred gnarly perfection! Love it today. For me that’s how I will do it, roast veg first, add the balls but definitely cook veg for 40-45 not 25 mins.
Made all the difference
Tofu balls v bland
Veg base raw after 30 mins at 180. Would need at least an hour, prob tofu balls should only be added after 40 mins. Disappointing
The tofu texture was strange and it was tasteless. The cook time for the cauliflower was too long. Needs additional seasoning.
