Marinate the tofu by including a number of the peri-peri marinade to a bowl with the tofu and tossing effectively to coat. Let it marinate for about quarter-hour or longer, if you happen to like, or proceed on to baking.

Add the remaining marinade to the chopped veggies (miss the garlic for now), and toss effectively to coat. Reserve about 1 tablespoon or so of the marinade and rinse out the blender with 1 tablespoon of water, and add that to the reserved marinade for basting later.

Grease a sheet pan with somewhat little bit of oil. Add the marinated tofu to at least one aspect of the sheet pan and the marinated veggies, together with the corn, to the opposite aspect.
