INGREDIENTS
0.5 cup cooked quinoa (93g)
0.5 cup cooked lentils (99g)
150g extra-firm tofu
0.25 cup roasted chickpeas (40g)
1 cup mixed roasted vegetables (150g)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Seasoning (salt, pepper, paprika, cumin) to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the tofu by pressing out excess water, then cut into bite-sized cubes. Toss with half the olive oil and a pinch of salt, pepper, paprika, and cumin.
Spread the tofu on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 25 minutes or until edges turn crispy.
In a bowl, combine the cooked lentils with a light drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. For extra crispiness, you can roast them in the oven on a separate tray for 15 minutes.
Rinse and drain chickpeas, pat them dry, toss with olive oil and seasonings, and roast on a tray for about 20 minutes until crunchy.
Meanwhile, toss the mixed vegetables (diced bell pepper and zucchini) in olive oil and seasoning, then roast on a tray for 20 minutes until tender.
In a serving bowl, layer the base of cooked quinoa, followed by roasted lentils, crispy tofu, roasted chickpeas, and vegetables.
Drizzle any remaining olive oil and seasonings over the bowl for added flavor. Mix gently and serve immediately.
