Preheat your oven or roasting apparatus to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Press the firm tofu between clean cloths or paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cut it into uniform cubes or slabs approximately 1 inch thick.

Peel the green mango and slice it into thin julienne strips or bite-sized pieces, keeping them firm and consistent in size for even cooking.

In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce and freshly ground black pepper to create a marinade. Toss the tofu pieces in this marinade and let them soak for at least 10 minutes.

Arrange the marinated tofu pieces on the prepared baking tray in a single layer. Drizzle any remaining marinade evenly over the tofu.

Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, flipping the tofu halfway through to ensure even browning and caramelization on all sides.

During the final 5 minutes of baking, scatter the sliced green mango over and around the tofu on the tray, allowing it to soften slightly while retaining its tartness.

Remove the tray from the oven and let the dish rest briefly before plating. Serve the roasted tofu alongside the warm green mango, garnishing with an additional pinch of black pepper if desired.
