I would like advice on roasting tofu.

Do the whole package at once. Because if you only do half, the other half will go bad in the fridge long before you get around to cooking with it again.

Any hints on temperature/time?

Attempt at being facetious = failed.

Honestly, I haven't roasted it that much - back when I used to cook with it more often, I usually used in in stir fries, or I've bought it already baked from Asian markets (though I don't remember seeing it at the local H Mart). But I think the couple times I did it I went with 450 degrees and 15 minutes on each side for 1-inch cubes and was happy with the results. What kind of flavoring are you looking at using?

I've seen a vinegar/mustard marinade that looks yum and will work with the spinach sauce I want to put the tofu in.

If it works for you, you can marinade tofu in the fridge before you do anything else with it. Also, it's usually still a bit wet, so doing it baked-potato-style might not be a bad idea.

Personally I mostly use it in soup or stir fry, or the ready flavoured ones - here you can buy smoked tofu or sweet-sour ones, for example, in salads or instead of cheese on bread.

I just discovered where I can get smoked tofu here, and it's delicious!
