INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Roasted Chickpeas (82g)
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa (93g)
125g Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Shelled Edamame (78g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
1/2 cup Roasted Carrots (65g)
1 tablespoon Tahini (15g)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Toss them with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet.
Peel and cut carrots into bite-sized pieces. Toss with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper and add to the baking sheet with chickpeas.
Roast the chickpeas and carrots for about 20-25 minutes, until the chickpeas are crispy and the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the chickpeas and carrots roast, prepare the quinoa following package instructions.
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes. In a non-stick pan over medium heat, lightly pan-fry the tofu cubes until they are golden on all sides.
If using frozen edamame, steam or briefly microwave them until heated through.
In a bowl, layer the fresh spinach as the base. Add the cooked quinoa, roasted chickpeas, tofu, edamame, and roasted carrots.
Drizzle the tahini over the bowl. Optionally, squeeze a bit of lemon juice and sprinkle fresh herbs to enhance flavor.
Toss gently and serve immediately.
