My last recipe for Vegan Sheet Pan Fajitas was a total hit! Sheet pan meals are so quick and easy to make, that I knew I had to share another recipe immediately! This vegan Greek sheet pan dinner is just as quick and easy. The instructions are simple, mix up the marinade made of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, basil, Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper, likely ingredients you already have stocked in your kitchen. (Check the recipe notes for the oil-free version).

Now just toss zucchini, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, and tofu in the marinade and bake. The trick for the tofu is to tear it into chunks (do not cut it into cubes)! When you tear tofu into chunks it has a random shape and rougher surface. The rough surface grips onto the marinade so it gets super flavorful and the random shapes make it look and taste more like chicken than tofu (trust me on this)!

Once it’s done roasting sprinkle olives and vegan feta over top. I garnished mine with some fresh oregano from my garden for the photos, or you could use parsley if desired. For the feta you can use a store-bought vegan feta or you can try my homemade vegan feta recipe.

Once roasted the vegan Greek sheet pan dinner is lightly caramelized and so flavorful! I love to serve mine on rice or with pita. This recipe is also great for making ahead of time or meal prep. Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container and then enjoy cold or reheat in the microwave. For meal prep, you could divide it among containers on top of cooked rice with a dollop of hummus or vegan tzatziki on the side. YUM!

This gluten-free, vegan, healthy meal will please everyone!

Mix the marinade ingredients together.

How to Make This Easy Vegan Greek Sheet Pan Dinner:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a small bowl, add all of the Greek Seasoning ingredients: the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, basil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir and set aside.

Add the veggies and tofu to the sheet pan.

On a large baking sheet, spread the tofu, zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.

Toss in the seasoning and roast. Then sprinkle with olives and vegan feta.

Drizzle the Greek Seasoning mixture over top and use your hands to toss the ingredients well until everything is well coated in the seasoning.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, stopping to stir halfway through, until everything is cooked and golden brown in some places. Remove from the oven then sprinkle over the olives and vegan feta. Serve hot alone or with cooked rice, warmed pita bread, vegan tzatziki, hummus, roasted potatoes, fresh oregano, or parsley, if desired.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • In a small bowl, add all of the Greek Seasoning ingredients, stir and set aside.

  • On a large baking sheet, spread the tofu, zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle the Greek Seasoning mixture over top and use your hands to toss the ingredients well until everything is well coated in the seasoning.

  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, stopping to stir halfway through, until everything is cooked and golden brown in some places. Remove from the oven then sprinkle over the olives and vegan feta. Serve hot alone or with cooked rice, warmed pita bread, vegan tzatziki, hummus, roasted potatoes, fresh oregano, or parsley, if desired.

Notes

Make-ahead/ meal prep: cook the veggies and tofu according to the directions. Allow to cool before transferring to an air-tight container. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Gently reheat in the microwave or on the stove. Serve hot on cooked rice or with pita bread if desired. 
Oil-free: for oil-free omit the oil and substitute with vegetable broth. Make sure you use a good non-stick pan and/or line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Use an oil-free vegan feta such as my homemade vegan feta recipe (see the notes for the oil-free option). To make the cheese crumbly, place it in the freezer for about 20 minutes before crumbling over the tofu and veggies.
