INGREDIENTS
1 cup Chickpeas (164g)
1 cup Mixed Vegetables (150g)
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa (92g)
125g Firm Tofu
1/2 tbsp Tahini (7.5g)
1 tsp Lemon Juice (5g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
Spices: Cumin, Smoked Paprika, Salt, Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
Rinse and drain chickpeas, then toss them with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet.
Prepare the mixed vegetables by cutting bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place the chickpeas and vegetables in the oven. Roast chickpeas for 25-30 minutes until crispy, and vegetables for about 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While roasting, cook quinoa according to package instructions.
Meanwhile, cut the tofu into cubes. Lightly pan-sear the tofu in a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a pinch of salt and pepper until all sides are golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, a splash of water (if needed to thin), and a pinch of salt to make a creamy dressing.
Assemble your Buddha Bowl by placing a base of quinoa, topping with roasted chickpeas, vegetables, and crispy tofu. Drizzle the tahini dressing over the top and serve warm or at room temperature.
