INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup Canned Chickpeas (drained)
5 ounces Firm Tofu
0.33 cup Cooked Quinoa
1.5 cups Broccoli
0.25 fruit Avocado
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
0.5 medium Red Bell Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
Toss the chickpeas in a bowl with half of the olive oil, a pinch of salt, and your preferred spices (such as smoked paprika and garlic powder) for extra flavor.
Spread the chickpeas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until crispy, shaking the pan halfway through.
While the chickpeas roast, press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut it into cubes. In a separate bowl, toss the tofu with a small amount of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tofu cubes until all sides are golden, about 8-10 minutes.
Prepare the vegetables by chopping the broccoli into bite-sized florets and slicing the red bell pepper. If desired, lightly roast the broccoli and bell pepper with a drizzle of olive oil in the oven for 10 minutes.
In a serving bowl, layer the cooked quinoa as the base. Top with roasted chickpeas, seared tofu, broccoli, red bell pepper slices, and diced avocado.
Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the bowl and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice or your favorite dressing if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
