Lemon-Herb Tofu with Quinoa and Roasted Vegetables
Sautéed tofu cubes and vibrant roasted vegetables are tossed in a zesty lemon-herb glaze and served over a bed of fluffy, protein-packed quinoa.
INGREDIENTS
10 oz extra firm tofu
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup broccoli florets
1 medium red bell pepper
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Press the extra firm tofu with a heavy object for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
Place the broccoli florets and sliced red bell pepper on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper, and roast for 20 minutes until tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, and nutritional yeast to create a thick herb paste.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the tofu cubes for 3-4 minutes per side until they develop a golden-brown crust.
Add the roasted vegetables and cooked quinoa to the skillet with the tofu, then fold in the lemon-herb paste.
Stir gently for 2 minutes until everything is thoroughly coated and heated through before serving.
