INGREDIENTS
1 small Sweet Potato (~100g)
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa (~92g)
1/2 cup Crispy Chickpeas (~130g)
250 grams Firm Tofu
1 cup Baby Spinach
1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Peel (if desired) and cut the sweet potato into small cubes. Toss the cubes lightly with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Pat them dry and mix with a pinch of salt, smoked paprika, and a tiny drizzle of olive oil. Spread them on a separate baking sheet.
Roast the sweet potato cubes in the oven for about 25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized. Roast the chickpeas for about 20 minutes until crispy, shaking the pan halfway through.
While the vegetables roast, press the tofu gently to remove excess water and cut it into bite-sized cubes. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, sear the tofu cubes until golden on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked. Fluff with a fork once done.
To assemble the bowl, create a base of fresh baby spinach. Add a layer of quinoa, then top it with roasted sweet potato, crispy chickpeas, and seared tofu.
Drizzle the assembled bowl with lemon juice and a light additional drizzle of olive oil if desired. Mix gently and serve warm.
