Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Press the tofu gently with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut it into 1/2-inch cubes.
In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil to lightly coat.
Spread the tofu evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges become crispy.
Meanwhile, rinse and drain the quinoa and warm it if needed. In a separate pan, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat.
Add minced garlic (from the garlic cloves) and sauté briefly until fragrant, then add chopped kale. Lightly sauté the kale with a pinch of salt until it just begins to wilt, about 3-4 minutes.
To serve, place the cooked quinoa as a base on your plate, top with the garlicky kale, and arrange the crispy baked tofu on top.
Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and an extra drizzle of olive oil if desired. Enjoy!
