Crisp the vegetables up after they've had a chance to soak up the marinade—or don't, they’re delicious at room temperature, or even served cold.

Give vegetables a head start in a hot oven before turning the heat way down. Then lay the fish on top, and let everything finish cooking together.

This is a quick and easy-to-throw-together, eat-the-rainbow revelation.

Tearing tofu into craggy pieces and then roasting with a heap of spices until the edges turn crisp is the key to these intensely flavorful sandwiches.
