INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup roasted chickpeas
1 cup roasted mixed vegetables
3 ounces marinated tempeh
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley & basil)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Rinse and drain a can of chickpeas, pat them dry, toss with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil, then roast on a baking sheet for about 25-30 minutes until crispy.
While roasting the chickpeas, prepare the quinoa by cooking 3/4 cup according to package instructions. Fluff and set aside.
Chop a mix of your favorite vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Toss them lightly with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast in the oven for about 20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Slice the tempeh into cubes or strips, marinate briefly in lemon juice, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of herbs, then bake or pan-sear it over medium heat until golden on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining lemon juice with fresh chopped herbs to create an uplifting dressing.
Assemble your bowl by layering the cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables, crispy chickpeas, and tempeh. Drizzle the lemon-herb dressing over the top.
Toss gently to combine and serve warm. Enjoy your nutritious and flavor-packed bowl!
