-
3 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 large red bell pepper, diced
-
1 10-ounce package frozen corn, thawed
-
1 10-ounce package frozen baby lima beans, thawed
-
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder, divided
-
1 teaspoon salt, divided
-
1 14- to 16-ounce package extra-firm tofu, drained

4 teaspoons paprika

1 ½ teaspoons dried thyme
-
½ teaspoon ground pepper
-
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

Lemon wedges for serving
Directions
-
Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add corn and lima beans and cook, stirring frequently, until hot, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon each garlic powder and salt. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
-
Meanwhile, slice tofu crosswise into 8 slabs. Pat dry with paper towels and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Combine paprika, thyme, pepper, cayenne and the remaining 1 teaspoon garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Dredge both sides of the tofu in the spice mixture. Stir cornstarch into the remaining spice mixture. Dredge the spiced tofu in the cornstarch mixture.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the tofu and cook, turning once, until almost blackened, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and tofu. Serve the tofu with the succotash and lemon wedges, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
