INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz whole wheat pasta (dry)
1 small sweet potato, cubed
1 cup broccoli florets
1/2 cup roasted chickpeas
6 oz extra firm tofu, cubed
2 tsp olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed sweet potato with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread it out on a baking sheet.
Roast the sweet potato in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta in boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Steam or lightly roast the broccoli until it is bright green and just tender, about 5-7 minutes if steaming.
Pat the tofu dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add a teaspoon of olive oil and pan-sear the tofu cubes until all sides are golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
If not using pre-roasted chickpeas, you can toss drained chickpeas with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them in the oven at 400°F for about 20 minutes until crispy.
Combine the cooked pasta, roasted sweet potato, broccoli, crispy chickpeas, and seared tofu in a large bowl. Toss gently to mix all the flavors.
Adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
