INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (82g)
1/3 cup cooked quinoa (62g)
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper (75g)
1/2 cup diced zucchini (90g)
1/4 cup chopped red onion (40g)
100g cubed firm tofu
1/2 tablespoon tahini (7.5g)
1/2 tablespoon almond butter
1.25 tablespoon hemp seeds
1 tablespoon rolled oats
1 teaspoon honey
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Rinse and drain the chickpeas and pat them dry. Toss the chickpeas with a pinch of salt, pepper, and your favorite spices, then spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until they are crispy.
While the chickpeas roast, prepare the vegetables. Dice the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Toss them lightly with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on another baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
Cube the firm tofu and, if desired, lightly season or marinate for extra flavor, then set aside.
Prepare the creamy tahini dressing by mixing 1/2 tablespoon tahini with a squeeze of lemon juice, a small minced garlic clove, a dash of water, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
For the almond-hemp protein bites, in a small bowl combine 1/2 tablespoon almond butter, 1.25 tablespoons hemp seeds, 1 tablespoon rolled oats, and 1 teaspoon honey. Mix until a sticky dough forms. You can chill the mixture in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm up before serving.
Assemble your power bowl by layering the roasted chickpeas, roasted vegetables, cooked quinoa, and tofu. Drizzle the tahini dressing over the top.
Serve the bowl alongside the chewy almond-hemp protein bites for extra texture and a protein boost.
