INGREDIENTS
1 cup Carrots (128g)
0.75 cup Chickpeas (123g), drained and rinsed
0.75 cup cooked Quinoa (125g)
0.75 cup Extra Firm Tofu (150g), cubed
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
1 tsp Spices mix (Cumin, Paprika, Salt, Black Pepper)
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, toss the carrots with half of the olive oil and a pinch of the spices. Spread them evenly on the baking sheet.
In a separate bowl, gently coat the chickpeas with the remaining olive oil and spices. Arrange them on the same or a separate baking sheet for a crisp texture.
Roast the carrots and chickpeas in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the chickpeas turn crispy. Stir halfway through for even roasting.
While roasting, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions and fluff with a fork. Stir in the fresh parsley for a burst of herb flavor.
For the tofu, lightly pan-sear the cubed tofu over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until golden on all sides. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Assemble the bowl by layering the herbed quinoa, then topping with the roasted carrots, crispy chickpeas, and seared tofu.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, nutritious meal.
