INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (~92g)
1/2 cup yellow pumpkin puree (~122g)
250g extra firm tofu
1 cup Brussels sprouts (~88g)
1 medium carrot (~61g)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup shelled edamame (~39g)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the extra firm tofu into cubes. Toss the tofu cubes lightly in a pinch of salt and a little olive oil, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the tofu in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until they turn crispy and golden.
Meanwhile, chop Brussels sprouts in half and slice the carrot into bite-sized pieces. Toss them with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables on a separate baking tray and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
In a small saucepan, warm the yellow pumpkin puree over low heat, stirring occasionally to create a creamy sauce. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and your favorite autumn spices (such as a hint of nutmeg or cinnamon) if desired.
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not pre-cooked.
Assemble the bowl by placing the cooked quinoa at the base, drizzling the warm pumpkin puree over it, then topping with the roasted tofu, vegetables, and a sprinkle of shelled edamame for extra protein.
Serve warm and enjoy the blend of creamy, crispy, and roasted textures.
