INGREDIENTS
1 cup roasted chickpeas (164g)
150 grams firm tofu
1 cup mixed greens (50g)
1/4 cup cooked quinoa (43g)
1 tablespoon tahini (15g)
PREPARATION
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse and drain the cooked chickpeas, then pat them dry with a paper towel. 
- Toss the chickpeas in a small amount of olive oil (optional) and your preferred seasonings such as salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Spread them out on a baking sheet. 
- Roast the chickpeas in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until they turn crispy, shaking the pan halfway through for even cooking. 
- While the chickpeas roast, press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes and season lightly with salt and pepper. 
- Optionally, bake or pan-sear the tofu until golden on the edges. If pan-searing, use a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally. 
- Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not pre-cooked. Use a quarter cup of cooked quinoa for the bowl. 
- In a serving bowl, arrange a bed of mixed greens. Add the roasted chickpeas, tofu cubes, and cooked quinoa on top. 
- Drizzle the tahini over the bowl. For an extra flavor boost, you could thin the tahini with a small squeeze of lemon juice and a splash of water before drizzling. 
- Toss gently to combine all the ingredients and enjoy this balanced, protein-packed Buddha bowl.
