INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Chickpeas (164g)
150g Extra Firm Tofu
1 cup Mixed Roasted Vegetables (150g)
1 cup Baby Spinach (30g)
1 tbsp Tahini (15g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice (15g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g)
1 tsp Cumin Powder (2.3g)
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, cumin powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for about 20-25 minutes until crispy, shaking the pan halfway through.
While the chickpeas roast, press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes and lightly season with salt and pepper. Bake on a separate tray or lightly pan-sear in a non-stick skillet until edges are golden, about 10-12 minutes.
Prepare the mixed vegetables (such as broccoli florets, sliced carrots, and bell pepper strips). Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender.
For the dressing, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a splash of water to reach a creamy, pourable consistency.
Assemble the bowl by first laying down a bed of fresh baby spinach. Add the roasted chickpeas, baked tofu cubes, and roasted vegetables.
Drizzle the creamy lemon tahini dressing over the bowl and serve immediately.
