INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup roasted chickpeas (130g)
150g extra firm tofu
0.5 cup cooked quinoa (93g)
100g shelled edamame
1 medium red bell pepper
2 cups baby spinach
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Toss them in a bowl with half the olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Spread the chickpeas on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy, shaking the pan halfway through for even cooking.
While the chickpeas roast, press the tofu gently to remove excess water. Cut it into cubes and toss with a little salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Place on a separate baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until golden on the edges.
In a pot, cook quinoa according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork.
Steam or microwave edamame if needed to heat through.
Assemble the bowl by layering baby spinach as a base, then add cooked quinoa, roasted chickpeas, baked tofu, red bell pepper slices, and edamame.
Drizzle the lemon juice and the remaining olive oil over the bowl. Toss gently to combine all the flavors.
Season with additional salt and pepper if desired and serve warm.
