Crispy Roasted Chickpea Buddha Bowl with Creamy Lemon Tahini Dressing
A vibrant bowl packed with crispy roasted chickpeas, fluffy quinoa, and protein-rich grilled tempeh, tossed with fresh edamame and spinach. The dish is elevated by a zesty, creamy lemon tahini dressing that ties the flavors together for a nourishing, satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup canned chickpeas (drained)
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup shelled edamame
3 ounces grilled tempeh
1 cup fresh spinach
1 tbsp tahini
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then pat dry with a paper towel.
Toss the chickpeas with a pinch of salt, pepper, and your preferred spices (such as cumin or smoked paprika) for extra crunch and flavor. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until crispy, stirring halfway through.
While the chickpeas roast, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not pre-cooked. Fluff and set aside.
Slice the tempeh into 1/4-inch pieces and grill on a preheated grill pan or skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden and slightly crispy.
In a small bowl, whisk together tahini and fresh lemon juice. If the dressing is too thick, thin with a small splash of water until it reaches your desired consistency.
Assemble your Buddha bowl by layering fresh spinach as the base, then topping with cooked quinoa, roasted chickpeas, steamed edamame, and grilled tempeh.
Drizzle the lemon tahini dressing over the bowl, toss gently to combine, and enjoy your nutritious, protein-packed meal.
