INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (92g)
1/2 cup roasted chickpeas (82g)
1 cup shelled edamame (155g)
2 ounces firm tofu (56g)
1/2 cup roasted red bell pepper (75g)
1/2 cup roasted zucchini (65g)
1/2 cup roasted carrots (64g)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Rinse and drain chickpeas; toss them in a little olive oil, salt, and your favorite spices (such as smoked paprika and cumin). Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy.
Chop red bell pepper, zucchini, and carrots into bite-sized pieces. Toss with a small amount of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread on another baking sheet. Roast alongside the chickpeas or after, for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, prepare 1/2 cup of quinoa according to package instructions.
Steam or boil the shelled edamame for about 5 minutes if not pre-cooked, and then drain.
Cut the firm tofu into small cubes. Optionally, lightly pan-sear in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side for added texture.
Assemble the Buddha Bowl by layering the quinoa, roasted chickpeas, edamame, pan-seared tofu, and roasted vegetables.
Drizzle with a light lemon-tahini dressing or your favorite healthy sauce if desired, mix gently, and serve warm.
