Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Halve sweet potatoes lengthwise. Add sweet potatoes and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.Arrange sweet potatoes on one side of the baking sheet, cut-side down. Roast in the bottom of oven until tender, 23-25 min. (NOTE: You will add tofu to the baking sheet after 15 min.)When sweet potatoes are almost done, flip cut-side up, then sprinkle with cheese. Return to the bottom of the oven until cheese melts, 2-3 min.
Meanwhile, halve tomatoes. Thinly slice green onions. Peel, then cut yellow onion into 1/4-inch slices.Pat tofu dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board (NOTE: You will have two "square" tofu steaks). Season tofu with salt, pepper and Southwest Spice Blend.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Pan-fry until golden, 2-3 min per side, then transfer tofu to the other side of the baking sheet with sweet potatoes.Brush tofu with 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) BBQ sauce.Roast in the bottom of the oven until cooked through, 8-10 min.**Carefully wipe the pan clean.When tofu is done, transfer to a plate.
