INGREDIENTS
1 cup Roasted Chickpeas
1/2 cup Shelled Edamame
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
150g Extra-Firm Tofu
1 cup Baby Spinach
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper (sliced)
1/2 cup Cucumber (sliced)
1 medium Carrot (sliced or shredded)
1/2 tbsp Tahini
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then pat dry with paper towels. Toss them with 1 tsp olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Spread the chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes until they are crispy, shaking the pan halfway through.
While the chickpeas roast, press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut into cubes. Optionally, lightly sauté tofu in a non-stick pan for a few minutes for extra texture.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 tbsp tahini and 1 tbsp lemon juice with a pinch of salt and pepper to create a light dressing.
Prepare the bowl by layering the cooked quinoa as the base. Top with baby spinach, roasted chickpeas, edamame, tofu cubes, red bell pepper slices, cucumber, and carrot.
Drizzle the tahini lemon dressing over the bowl, and toss gently to combine all flavors.
Serve immediately, enjoying the contrasting textures and fresh flavors.
