INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup cooked lentils (≈150g)
0.25 cup cooked quinoa (≈43g)
0.33 cup roasted chickpeas (≈50g)
200g extra firm tofu
1/16 cup walnuts (≈15g)
0.5 cup shelled edamame (≈75g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F for roasting the chickpeas.
Rinse and drain canned or pre-cooked chickpeas, then pat them dry. Toss with a dash of olive oil, salt, pepper, and any desired spices such as paprika and cumin.
Spread the chickpeas out on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until they turn crispy, stirring halfway through.
While the chickpeas roast, prepare the tofu by pressing excess water and cutting it into cubes.
Optionally, pan-sear the tofu cubes over medium heat with a touch of seasoning until lightly golden on all sides.
Warm pre-cooked lentils and quinoa if desired, or serve at room temperature.
In a bowl, combine the lentils, quinoa, roasted chickpeas, tofu, shelled edamame, and a light sprinkle of chopped walnuts.
Toss gently to mix all ingredients together. Adjust seasonings with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty, protein-packed vegan lunch bowl.
