INGREDIENTS
0.8 cup Roasted Chickpeas
0.4 cup Cooked Quinoa
180 grams Extra-Firm Tofu
50 grams Fresh Spinach
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Toss with a small drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and any desired spices (such as smoked paprika or cumin) for extra flavor.
Spread the chickpeas on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they become crispy.
While the chickpeas roast, press the extra-firm tofu to remove excess moisture and cut it into small cubes. Optionally, marinate briefly in your favorite vegan sauce for added flavor.
In a non-stick or lightly oiled skillet over medium heat, sauté the tofu cubes for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until lightly browned on all sides.
Add the pre-cooked quinoa to the skillet with the tofu, stirring gently to combine and warm through.
Fold in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt slightly in the residual heat, about 2 minutes.
Once the chickpeas are crispy, add them to the skillet. Sprinkle the nutritional yeast over the mixture and gently toss to evenly distribute all ingredients.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm and enjoy your vibrant, nutrient-packed vegan stir fry.
