INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup roasted chickpeas (82g)
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (93g)
1/2 cup shelled edamame (78g)
4 ounces grilled extra-firm tofu (113g)
1 cup raw spinach (30g)
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes (75g)
1/2 cup shredded red cabbage (45g)
1/2 cup sliced cucumber (52g)
1/2 tablespoon tahini (15g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Pat them dry with a paper towel, toss with a pinch of salt, pepper, and your favorite spices (such as paprika and cumin) for extra flavor. Spread them out on the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy, shaking the pan halfway through.
While the chickpeas roast, rinse the quinoa under cold water and cook according to package instructions. Allow it to cool slightly once done.
Prepare the tofu by slicing it into cubes or strips and grilling it in a non-stick pan over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side until lightly charred.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, roasted chickpeas, shelled edamame, and grilled tofu. Add in the fresh raw spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded red cabbage, and sliced cucumber.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini with a splash of water, lemon juice, salt, and a tiny pinch of garlic powder if desired to create a smooth and drizzly sauce.
Drizzle the tahini sauce over the assembled bowl and toss gently to combine all the flavors.
Serve immediately and enjoy this balanced, flavorful Buddha bowl.
