INGREDIENTS
200g Extra-Firm Tofu
125g Canned Chickpeas (drained & rinsed)
150g Sweet Potato
60g Mixed Greens
1 tbsp Tahini
1 tbsp Cornstarch
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Ground Cumin
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut it into bite-sized cubes.
In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the tofu cubes until they are golden and crispy on all sides, then set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Dice the sweet potato into cubes, toss with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread on a baking tray. Roast for about 20-25 minutes or until tender.
In a separate bowl, combine tahini and lemon juice with a splash of water to thin to your desired consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Assemble the salad by placing mixed greens in a bowl. Top with crispy tofu, roasted sweet potato, and drained chickpeas.
Drizzle the tahini dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all flavors. Serve immediately.
