INGREDIENTS
1 cup Roasted Chickpeas (164g)
100g Extra-Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Shelled Edamame (75g)
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa (93g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (15g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Drain and rinse the chickpeas if using canned. Pat them dry with a towel.
Toss the chickpeas with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and your desired spices (like smoked paprika or cumin) and spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the chickpeas in the oven for 20-25 minutes until they are crispy, shaking the pan halfway through for even cooking.
While the chickpeas are roasting, press the tofu gently to remove excess moisture and cut it into bite-sized cubes. Optionally, you can season the tofu lightly and pan-sear it for extra crispness.
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions and set aside once cooked.
Blanch the shelled edamame in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Assemble your Buddha bowl by layering the fresh spinach, cooked quinoa, roasted chickpeas, sautéed or raw tofu cubes, and edamame.
Drizzle the bowl with fresh lemon juice, toss lightly to combine, and serve immediately.
