INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup roasted chickpeas (approx. 123g)
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (93g)
1 cup chopped kale (67g)
4.5 oz baked extra-firm tofu (128g)
1 tbsp tahini (15g)
1 tbsp lemon juice (15g)
2 tbsp mixed chopped parsley & cilantro
Salt & pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Rinse and drain chickpeas, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and your favorite dried herbs (optional) before spreading onto a baking sheet.
Roast the chickpeas for about 20-25 minutes until they are crispy, shaking the pan halfway through.
While the chickpeas are roasting, press and cube the extra-firm tofu. Marinate lightly with salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice and bake or pan-sear the tofu until golden and firm, about 10-12 minutes.
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions (if not pre-cooked) and set aside. Massage the chopped kale with a tiny pinch of salt to soften the leaves if desired.
For the lemon tahini drizzle, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, a splash of water, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Assemble the bowl by layering the quinoa, roasted chickpeas, kale, and baked tofu. Drizzle the lemon tahini sauce over the top and garnish with freshly chopped parsley and cilantro.
Finish with an extra grind of black pepper and serve immediately.
