1/4 cup onion medium-diced
1/4 cup carrots medium-diced
1/4 cup red bell pepper medium-diced

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Drain tofu of water, then dice. Season with all-purpose seasoning.
On a nonstick baking tray lightly sprayed with Pam, bake diced tofu just until firm, about 10 minutes.
In a medium nonstick skillet over a medium flame, sauté onions, carrots, and bell peppers to moisten them, about 4 minutes.
In a large stainless steel mixing bowl, combine baked tofu, sautéed vegetables, and all remaining ingredients except veggie topping. Using a large spoon, mix well.
Pour casserole into a nonstick casserole dish lightly misted with Pam or an 8 x 13 buffet pan. Shake gently until level. Sprinkle veggie topping on top and bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.
