INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup roasted chickpeas
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
5 ounces firm tofu
1 cup mixed roasted vegetables
0.75 tablespoon tahini
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
Spices (cumin, paprika, salt & pepper) to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. On a baking sheet, toss chickpeas with a drizzle of olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy.
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside.
Chop bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Toss them lightly with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, drain and press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into cubes and sauté in a non-stick pan over medium heat with a tiny splash of olive oil until golden on all sides.
In a small bowl, mix tahini with lemon juice (and a splash of water if desired) to create a smooth, creamy dressing.
Assemble your bowl by layering the cooked quinoa at the base, followed by roasted chickpeas, sautéed tofu, and roasted vegetables. Drizzle the creamy tahini dressing over the top.
Serve warm and enjoy your nutrient-packed, flavorful bowl!
