INGREDIENTS
250g firm tofu
3/4 cup canned chickpeas (drained)
100g green beans
1/2 cup shelled edamame
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
Cooking spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes and toss with a pinch of salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
Place the tofu cubes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through for even crispiness.
While the tofu bakes, heat a non-stick skillet with a light spray of cooking oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add the drained chickpeas to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally so they heat through and pick up the garlic flavor. Season with a little salt and pepper.
In another pan, lightly spray with cooking spray and add the green beans. Sauté them just until they turn bright green and begin to soften, about 4-5 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over the beans and season with salt and pepper.
For an extra protein boost and textural contrast, quickly warm the shelled edamame in a separate pan or gently steam them for 2-3 minutes.
Assemble your plate by layering the crispy baked tofu with the sautéed chickpeas, garlic green beans, and edamame. Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, flavor-packed dinner.
