INGREDIENTS
225g Firm Tofu
1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 medium Zucchini
1/4 medium Red Onion
1/2 cup Chickpeas
1 tbsp Tahini
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes and marinate with a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a drizzle of olive oil.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss diced red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with a light sprinkle of salt, pepper, and a small amount of olive oil. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, cook quinoa according to package instructions, then measure out 1/3 cup of the cooked quinoa.
For the dressing, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, a dash of water to thin if needed, and a pinch of garlic powder. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add the marinated tofu cubes and sauté until the edges are crispy and golden, approximately 6-8 minutes.
For assembly, place the cooked quinoa at the base of a bowl, top with crispy tofu, roasted vegetables, and chickpeas. Drizzle the lemon-tahini dressing over the bowl and serve immediately.
