INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa (~93g)
1/2 cup cooked Chickpeas (~82g)
150g Extra Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Shelled Edamame (~78g)
1 cup Mixed Roasted Vegetables (~100g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (parsley and basil)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. On a baking sheet, toss the chopped mixed vegetables with a light drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, until the edges are crispy.
While the vegetables roast, prepare the quinoa if not already cooked. If using pre-cooked quinoa, warm it slightly or fluff with a fork.
Press the tofu gently and cut it into cubes. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and pan-roast the tofu cubes until all sides turn golden and slightly crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper to create the lemon-herb dressing.
In a large bowl, combine the warm quinoa, roasted chickpeas, pan-roasted tofu, shelled edamame, and the crispy roasted vegetables.
Drizzle the lemon-herb dressing over the bowl and toss everything gently to combine.
Serve immediately, and enjoy a balanced, hearty bowl that's flavorful and nourishing.
