Crispy Tofu and Quinoa Bowl with Roasted Chickpeas
A vibrant and satisfying bowl featuring crispy tofu, crunchy roasted chickpeas, a light portion of quinoa, and tender edamame, all finished with a sprinkle of savory nutritional yeast. This balanced dish offers a textural contrast and a burst of flavor in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
210g firm tofu
75g chickpeas
0.2 cup cooked quinoa (~37g)
60g shelled edamame
2.5 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp olive oil
Spices: smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper
PREPARATION
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into bite-sized cubes.
In a bowl, toss the tofu with a pinch of salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
Heat a non-stick skillet with olive oil over medium heat and add the tofu cubes. Cook until all sides are golden and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). On a small baking sheet, spread the chickpeas, drizzle lightly with a bit of olive oil, and season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes until they turn crunchy.
For the quinoa, prepare according to package instructions if not pre-cooked. Use a small portion (about 0.2 cup cooked) to keep the calorie count in range.
Lightly steam the edamame for about 3-4 minutes until tender but still bright green.
Assemble your bowl by layering the cooked quinoa, crispy tofu, roasted chickpeas, and steamed edamame. Sprinkle the nutritional yeast over the top for a savory finish.
Toss gently and serve warm.
