INGREDIENTS
160g extra-firm tofu
1/2 cup cooked lentils
1/3 cup cooked chickpeas
2 cups baby spinach
1/2 tbsp tahini
Olive oil spray
Spices: cumin, paprika, salt, pepper
PREPARATION
Press the extra-firm tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with a light spray of olive oil and a pinch of cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the tofu. Sauté until all sides are golden and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the cooked chickpeas. Sprinkle a little cumin and paprika, and toast them for 3-4 minutes until they develop a light crisp.
Warm the cooked lentils gently in a small saucepan or in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper.
Assemble the power bowl by placing the baby spinach at the base, then layering the warmed lentils, toasted chickpeas, and crispy tofu on top.
Drizzle the tahini evenly over the bowl. Add an extra sprinkle of your chosen spices if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutrient-packed, delicious vegan lunch.
