INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup cooked chickpeas (~125g)
0.5 cup shelled edamame (~75g)
0.5 cup cooked quinoa (~92g)
100g firm tofu
1 cup fresh spinach
0.5 cup halved cherry tomatoes (~75g)
1 tbsp tahini
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp spice mix (cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil and the spice mix. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy, shaking the pan midway.
While the chickpeas roast, press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into cubes. Lightly coat with a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
In a non-stick pan over medium heat, lightly sauté the tofu cubes until all sides are golden and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside.
Prepare the quinoa and edamame if not already cooked. In a large bowl, layer the spinach as the base.
Add the cooked quinoa, edamame, roasted chickpeas, and crispy tofu. Top with halved cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle the tahini sauce over the bowl. Optionally, toss lightly to combine the flavors.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutrient-packed Buddha bowl.
