INGREDIENTS
1 cup canned chickpeas (164g)
150g firm tofu
1 medium zucchini (101g)
1/2 medium red bell pepper (75g)
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (75g)
1 cup baby spinach (30g)
1 tbsp tahini (15g)
1 tsp olive oil (5g)
1 tbsp lemon juice (15g)
Spices (cumin, salt, pepper) to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Pat them dry with a paper towel and toss with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of cumin, salt, and pepper.
Cut the zucchini into half-moon slices, chop the red bell pepper into strips, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Toss the vegetables lightly with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Press the tofu lightly to remove excess moisture and cut into 1-inch cubes. Lightly season the tofu cubes with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of cumin.
Spread the chickpeas, tofu, and chopped vegetables on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chickpeas are crispy and the tofu and vegetables are lightly browned.
While the baking is in progress, prepare the lemon-tahini dressing by whisking together the tahini, lemon juice, a splash of water (to reach desired consistency), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Once roasted, assemble the bowl by layering the baby spinach at the base, then topping with the roasted chickpeas, tofu, and vegetables.
Drizzle the lemon-tahini dressing over the bowl, toss gently, and serve warm.
