INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup roasted chickpeas (123g)
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (92g)
200g extra firm tofu
2 cups baby spinach (60g)
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes (75g)
1/4 medium avocado (50g)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Drain and rinse a can of chickpeas and pat them dry. Toss the chickpeas with your favorite seasonings (such as smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper) and a small amount of olive oil, then roast on a baking sheet for 25-30 minutes until crispy.
While the chickpeas roast, prepare the quinoa by rinsing it and cooking according to package instructions until fluffy.
Press the extra firm tofu to remove excess moisture, cut it into cubes, and toss with a light coating of soy sauce and a pinch of garlic powder. Spread tofu cubes on a separate baking tray and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until lightly browned and crispy.
Assemble the Buddha bowl by layering baby spinach at the base. Add the cooked quinoa, then arrange the roasted chickpeas and tofu on top.
Finish with halved cherry tomatoes and sliced avocado. Drizzle with a squeeze of lemon or your favorite light dressing if desired, and enjoy immediately.
