INGREDIENTS

14 oz extra firm tofu

2 tbsp nutritional yeast

1 tbsp hemp hearts

0.25 cup cooked quinoa

1 cup broccoli florets

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.5 tsp dried thyme

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp lemon juice

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Press the extra firm tofu for at least 15 minutes using a tofu press or heavy skillet to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.

• 3

  In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Add the tofu cubes to the bowl and toss gently until every piece is thoroughly coated in the herb marinade.

• 5

  Sprinkle the nutritional yeast and hemp hearts over the tofu, tossing once more to ensure the cubes are encrusted with the savory mixture.

• 6

  Arrange the tofu in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring no pieces are touching to allow for maximum crispiness.

• 7

  Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the cubes halfway through the cooking time, until the edges are golden brown and firm.

• 8

  While the tofu bakes, steam the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes until vibrant green and tender-crisp.

• 9

  Assemble the meal by placing the warm cooked quinoa in a bowl, topped with the crispy garlic-herb tofu and the steamed broccoli.
