INGREDIENTS
300 grams Extra Firm Tofu
1 cup Cooked Quinoa (approx. 185g)
1 cup Asparagus (approx. 134g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes.
In a bowl, gently toss the tofu cubes with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Drizzle half of the olive oil over the tofu and mix to coat evenly.
Arrange the tofu cubes on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the edges are crispy and golden.
While the tofu bakes, rinse the asparagus and trim the woody ends. Toss the asparagus with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them out on another baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 12 minutes or until tender and slightly charred.
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions, typically by simmering 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water until fluffy.
To serve, layer a portion of quinoa on the plate, top with roasted asparagus and crispy baked tofu, and enjoy the medley of textures and flavors.
