INGREDIENTS
½ cup cooked green lentils (≈100g)
200g extra firm tofu
¼ cup cooked chickpeas (≈41g)
1 tbsp pumpkin seeds (≈9g)
1 cup roasted mixed vegetables (≈150g) (bell peppers, zucchini, red onion)
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh chopped herbs (parsley, basil)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss chopped bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion in a light drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, drain the extra firm tofu and pat dry. Cut into 1-inch cubes and lightly season with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs. Sauté in a nonstick pan over medium heat with a splash of olive oil for about 5-7 minutes until all sides are golden.
Warm the pre-cooked green lentils and chickpeas if desired, or serve them at room temperature.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, and chopped fresh herbs to create the lemon-herb dressing.
Assemble the bowl by layering the lentils at the base, then adding the sautéed tofu, roasted vegetables, and chickpeas. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds over the top.
Drizzle the lemon-herb dressing evenly over the bowl. Toss gently or serve with the dressing on the side. Enjoy your hearty, balanced meal!
