INGREDIENTS
1 cup diced Butternut Squash (~205g)
1 cup cooked Chickpeas (~164g)
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa (~92g)
110 grams Firm Tofu
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Maple Syrup
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and dice the butternut squash into 1-inch cubes. Toss in half the olive oil, a pinch of salt, pepper, and a dash of paprika. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.
Drain and rinse the cooked chickpeas. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil, maple syrup, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Place the seasoned butternut squash and chickpeas on separate baking sheets. Roast both in the oven: squash for about 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized; chickpeas for approximately 20-25 minutes until crispy, stirring halfway.
While the vegetables roast, press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut into cubes. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In a skillet over medium heat, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the tofu for 6-8 minutes until golden on all sides.
Prepare quinoa as per package instructions.
In a bowl, layer the roasted butternut squash, crispy chickpeas, sautéed tofu, and quinoa. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Serve warm and enjoy your nutrient-packed bowl.
