Ingredients
  

For the Bowl:
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice, because we’re flexible but not flaky
  • 1 block firm tofu about 14 oz, pressed and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup chopped broccoli
  • 1 cup chopped sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1/2 avocado sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage optional but fabulous
For the Dressing:
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon water adjust for desired thickness

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Toss tofu cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread tofu on half of the baking sheet like you’re building tofu real estate.
  4. On the other half, toss broccoli and sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and roast everything for 25 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, cook your quinoa according to package instructions—pretend you're boiling away your stress.
  6. Mix tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, soy sauce, and water in a bowl. Whisk until it stops judging you.
  7. Once roasted, assemble bowls with quinoa base, veggies, tofu, avocado slices, and red cabbage if you’re showing off.
  8. Drizzle with dressing like you’re on a cooking show. Serve warm, cold, or straight from the bowl like a queen.
