Simple Meals : Baked Vegetables and Tofu

It’s getting super warm here now 🥵 And most days, I just don’t feel like standing by the hot stove and cooking elaborate meals! As an alternative, I just cut all the veggies and protein, and bake them!

Baking consumes lesser oil that stir frying and I love these baked meals coz of its simplicity to prepare and the delicious taste of caramelized vegetables.
