INGREDIENTS
1 cup roasted chickpeas (164g)
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (93g)
1 cup roasted broccoli (91g)
100g baked firm tofu
1 cup baby spinach (30g)
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes (75g)
1/2 tbsp tahini (15g)
1 tbsp lemon juice (15g)
1 tsp olive oil (5g)
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Pat them dry with a paper towel and toss in a bowl with 1 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet.
On another baking tray, arrange broccoli florets. Drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Cube the firm tofu, toss with a pinch of salt and pepper, and set aside.
Roast chickpeas and broccoli in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, until the chickpeas are crispy and the broccoli is tender with slight char edges.
While the chickpeas and broccoli are roasting, cook the quinoa as per package instructions if not pre-cooked.
For the tofu, you can either add it to the baking sheet during the last 15 minutes of roasting or sauté it in a non-stick pan until lightly golden on all sides.
Prepare the tahini dressing by whisking together 1/2 tablespoon tahini and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Add a splash of water if needed to achieve a drizzling consistency.
In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, roasted chickpeas, roasted broccoli, spinach, cherry tomatoes, and tofu.
Drizzle the tahini dressing over the bowl, toss gently to mix, and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant, nutrient-packed Buddha bowl.
