Crispy Tofu with Roasted Vegetables and Fluffy Couscous
Enjoy a vibrant plate of crispy, golden tofu accompanied by a medley of roasted vegetables and light, fluffy couscous. The dish features savory chickpeas to boost protein, with a drizzle of olive oil enhancing the flavors without overwhelming the fresh, balanced ingredients.
INGREDIENTS
200 grams Extra Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Dry Couscous (approx. 88 grams)
1/2 cup Chickpeas (canned, drained, approx. 82 grams)
150 grams Mixed Vegetables (red bell pepper, zucchini, red onion)
1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. On a baking sheet, toss the mixed vegetables with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, season the tofu cubes with salt, pepper, and optionally your favorite spices like paprika or garlic powder. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the tofu cubes. Sauté until all sides are golden and slightly crispy, about 8-10 minutes.
Prepare the couscous: Bring water to a boil (use the package instructions, typically 1 part couscous to 1.5 parts water). Remove from heat, stir in the couscous, cover, and let it steam for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
In a bowl, combine the crispy tofu, roasted vegetables, and chickpeas. Serve over a bed of fluffy couscous for a balanced, protein-packed meal.
