Main Dish

Grain Base

Tahini Dressing

Method

Main Dish

  1. 1

    Prepare the tofu

    Drain the tofu and press it for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes.

  2. 2

    Marinate and coat

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cornstarch. Add the tofu cubes and toss to evenly coat.

  3. 3

    Bake the tofu

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange tofu cubes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Vegetable Medley

  1. 4

    Prepare vegetables

    Wash and cut all vegetables as instructed. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Sauté vegetables

    Add broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and zucchini to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.

Grain Base

  1. 6

    Cook quinoa

    Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine quinoa, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Tahini Dressing

  1. 7

    Make the dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, minced garlic, water, and salt. Adjust consistency by adding more water if needed.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble the bowl

    In serving bowls, layer cooked quinoa, sautéed vegetables, and baked tofu. Drizzle with tahini dressing and serve warm.
