INGREDIENTS
275g Extra Firm Tofu
150g Cooked Quinoa
150g Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil (for tofu)
1/2 tsp Olive Oil (for asparagus)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut it into 1/2-inch cubes. In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with 1 tsp olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Spread the tofu evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tofu is crispy and golden.
While the tofu is baking, trim the asparagus and place on a separate baking tray. Drizzle with 1/2 tsp olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast in the oven for about 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
In a small saucepan, lightly sauté the minced garlic in a splash of water or leftover olive oil until fragrant. Add the cooked quinoa and stir in the lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Once all components are ready, plate the lemon-garlic quinoa, top with roasted asparagus, and finish by adding the crispy baked tofu. Serve warm and enjoy!
