INGREDIENTS
300 grams Firm Tofu
100 grams Chickpeas
150 grams Asparagus
1 tablespoon Tahini
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
Salt and Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.
In a bowl, gently toss the tofu cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Spread the tofu on half of the baking sheet. On the other half, arrange the asparagus spears after lightly drizzling with a bit of olive oil and seasoning them with salt and pepper. Add chickpeas to the tofu section for extra crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning the tofu and chickpeas halfway through baking to ensure even crispiness and roasting the asparagus until tender.
While the tofu and vegetables are baking, prepare the creamy tahini dressing by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, a splash of water (if needed to thin the dressing), and a pinch of salt.
Once baked, remove the tofu, chickpeas, and asparagus from the oven. Drizzle the tahini dressing over the tofu and asparagus, or serve on the side.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed meal.
