These pineapple tofu rice bowls are warm and cozy dinners perfect for anytime of year! I created this recipe during our long New England winters when I was dreaming of a warm sandy beach and a tall margarita. The tropical flavors (and colors!) in this dish can brighten up any dull dreary day. The great thing about this recipe is that it can be enjoyed all year round, and if you can’t find fresh pineapple, canned pineapple works just as well.

Vegetarian Sheet Pan Recipes For the Win!
This Pineapple Tofu Rice Bowl is the perfect sheet pan dinner! I love a good sheet pan meal, especially during these fall months when the weather starts to turn cooler. Cooking on a sheet pan is one of my favorite ways to get a meal on the table fast! All the food gets cooked on a single pan, which makes cleaning up a breeze. And the oven does all the work for you, so you can focus on other kitchen prep while the food cooks. Sheet pan meals are awesome for breakfast, lunch, or dinner – check out my link here to see other healthy sheet pan meals that are ready in no time!
Sheet pan dinners are a truly beautiful and time-saving thing. I’ve been getting into making them more and more lately, and I love the convenience and easy clean up afterwards. We do a lot of baked tofu around our homestead and this recipe takes ordinary tofu up a notch. The tofu is sweet, a little salty, savory, and makes for a healthy and filling dish!
What’s in this Sheet Pan Pineapple Tofu Bowl?
- Bell Pepper, Red Onion, Pineapple, & Bok Choy – I got the fresh produce for this recipe from my garden and from my Misfits Market box – they sell all organic produce at a super discounted price, and it’s purchased direct from the farmers. We get Misfit Market boxes every month and love picking out our favorite seasonal produce for delivery. You can get $10 off your first box by clicking here!
- Tofu – I have been LOVING these shelf-stable tofu packs from Amazon. I literally have 3 cases of them in my pantry as we speak. They are an inexpensive and healthy way to get some plant protein in. The texture of this extra firm tofu is perfect for this turmeric tofu salad, no pressing required!
- Pineapple – use fresh if you have it or these great sliced pineapple chunks if you can’t find fresh. I like to stock up and keep canned pineapple in my pantry for those days when I want tropical flacors in my life. Canned pineapple is great to roast, add to curries, and even toss in a pina colada!
- Corn Starch: the secret to crispy tofu, it really makes a difference. I like Anthony’s brand organic corn starch best. I use it weekly to make crispy potatoes and tofu in the oven or the air fryer!
- Olive Oil: I like to use this delicious Zoe olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
- Coconut Aminos – these delicious coconut aminos are a fantastic and flavorful gluten free soy sauce substitute.
How Do I Make This Hawaii BBQ Sheet Pan Tofu Recipe?
