Tofu sheet pan dinners work when the tofu actually browns and the glaze is applied at the right moment. This version keeps both of those priorities in place.

- 1 head broccoli, chopped
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 tsp honey

Why a good sheet pan helps here
The pan is doing more work here than it looks like. A sturdy, evenly heating sheet pan gives you better browning and fewer hot spots.
This recipe benefits from more even oven contact and easier cleanup.
- Promotes more even browning
- Useful across weeknight roasts and baking
A heavy rimmed sheet pan is one of the highest-use tools in almost any kitchen.

Mirin
Helpful Pantry Staple
Why the mirin matters
Mirin quietly rounds out sauces like this with sweetness and gloss. It is one of those ingredients you notice more when it is missing.
This adds balance, not just sweetness.
- Rounds out saltier sauces
- Useful in glazes, noodle dishes, and marinades
A bottle of mirin becomes surprisingly versatile once it is in the pantry.
