Sheet Pan Gochujang Tofu with Pineapple

Sweet, spicy, and completely hands-off, this Korean-inspired dish requires no marinating, no flipping, and no special equipment. Just arrange and bake.

2 min Full Chaos 10 ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 block (400g) firm tofu
  • 2 cups fresh or canned pineapple chunks, drained
  • 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks (or use frozen)
  • 2 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces (optional)
  • Cooked rice for serving

Preparation

Tofu intimidates many home cooks, but this recipe eliminates every common hurdle. No pressing, no marinating overnight, no pan-frying that sticks or splatters. The oven does the work while the gochujang-maple glaze caramelizes into sticky, spicy perfection.

The pineapple isn't just decorative—its enzymes help tenderize the tofu while its sweetness balances the fermented heat of gochujang. Everything roasts together in perfect harmony.

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Drain tofu and cut into 1-inch cubes. Pat gently with paper towels to remove excess moisture, but don't worry about getting it completely dry.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together gochujang, maple syrup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and oil until smooth.
  4. Add tofu cubes, pineapple chunks, and bell pepper to the bowl. Gently toss to coat everything evenly.
  5. Spread mixture in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tofu is golden at the edges and pineapple is caramelized.
  6. Scatter green onions over the top during the last 2 minutes of cooking if using.
  7. Serve immediately over rice, drizzling any pan juices over the top.

No Special Ingredients? Substitute gochujang with 2 tablespoons sriracha plus 1 tablespoon miso paste for a similar flavor profile.
