Description

This is a delicious variation on a tofu stir fry. Feel free to adjust the chili to suit your
palate. Vary the vegetables as you like. Just be sure to include some green and red in the
mix! You can also air fry the tofu if you have an air fryer instead of baking. If you have a
convection oven, bake on the convection setting.
