INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup cooked quinoa (approx. 150g)
1 cup roasted chickpeas (approx. 160g)
1 cup herb-roasted mixed vegetables (approx. 150g)
3 ounces baked tofu (approx. 85g)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme)
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the mixed vegetables by chopping zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Toss them with olive oil, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, rinse and drain canned chickpeas. Toss them lightly with a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper, and additional herbs if desired. Spread them separately on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway, until they turn crispy.
For the baked tofu, press extra-firm tofu to remove excess water, cut into cubes, season lightly with salt, pepper, and herbs, then bake on a lined baking sheet at 400°F for 20 minutes or until edges are crisp.
Cook quinoa as per package instructions until it’s fluffy. Measure out 0.75 cup of cooked quinoa.
Assemble the bowl by adding the cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables, crispy chickpeas, and baked tofu. Sprinkle fresh lemon zest on top for a burst of brightness.
Mix gently to combine flavors and serve warm.
