INGREDIENTS
1 cup roasted Chickpeas (~164g)
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa (~92g)
120g Firm Tofu, cubed
1/2 medium Sweet Potato, roasted (~75g)
1 cup Baby Spinach
1/2 tablespoon Tahini
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Rinse and drain a can of chickpeas, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Toss the chickpeas lightly with your favorite spices (such as smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper) and a tiny drizzle of olive oil if desired. Roast on a baking sheet for 20-25 minutes until crispy, shaking halfway through.
Meanwhile, peel and cube a medium sweet potato into bite-sized pieces. Toss with a light spray of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast on a separate baking sheet in the oven for about 25 minutes until fork-tender and edges slightly crisp.
While the chickpeas and sweet potato roast, cook quinoa according to package instructions. Once done, fluff and set aside.
Press the firm tofu for a few minutes to remove excess water, then cube it. Sauté or lightly pan-roast the tofu with a sprinkle of salt and pepper until the edges are golden, about 5-7 minutes.
Assemble the bowl by layering the cooked quinoa as the base, then adding a generous handful of fresh baby spinach. Top with the roasted chickpeas, sweet potato cubes, and sautéed tofu.
Drizzle the bowl with a creamy tahini dressing. For a quick version, mix the tahini with a splash of water, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a minced garlic clove to create a smooth, pourable sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve warm and enjoy this balanced bowl loaded with textures and bright flavors!
