A vibrant, hearty vegan power bowl featuring crispy roasted lentils paired with fluffy quinoa, tender roasted broccoli, and a savory tahini drizzle. This dish delights with a satisfying crunch and a balanced blend of textures and flavors that energize your day.
INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup cooked lentils (approx 150g)
0.5 cup cooked quinoa (approx 93g)
1 cup roasted broccoli (approx 150g)
50g seitan
0.5 teaspoon tahini
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss broccoli florets with a small drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast on a baking sheet for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
For the crispy lentils, drain and rinse canned or pre-cooked lentils, pat dry, and toss with your favorite spices (such as smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper). Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast in the oven during the last 15 minutes of broccoli roasting, stirring once, until they become crispy.
Prepare quinoa according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside.
Slice seitan into bite-sized pieces and quickly pan-sear over medium-high heat until they get a light golden crust, about 3-4 minutes. This enhances their texture and flavor.
Plate the power bowl by layering the cooked quinoa as a base, then add the roasted broccoli, crispy lentils, and seared seitan on top.
Drizzle with tahini (or mix tahini with a squeeze of lemon juice and a splash of water for a thinner consistency) and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm.
