INGREDIENTS
400g Extra Firm Tofu
1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Steamed Broccoli
3.5 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Begin by pressing the tofu to remove excess water; once drained, cut the tofu into cubes.
In a mixing bowl, gently toss the tofu cubes with a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and the nutritional yeast. For an extra crisp exterior, you may lightly coat the tofu with a minimal amount of water and a dusting of cornstarch.
Place the tofu cubes on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the tofu is golden and crispy on the edges.
While the tofu bakes, cook the quinoa according to package instructions until fluffy. Measure out approximately 1/3 cup of cooked quinoa for the meal.
Steam the broccoli until it is bright green and tender, about 5-6 minutes.
Assemble your plate by layering the cooked quinoa, topping it with the crispy baked tofu, and arranging the steamed broccoli on the side. Optionally, drizzle with a squeeze of lemon juice or a touch of low-calorie sauce to enhance flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed vegan dinner.
