Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix the tempeh cubes with olive oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Toss until evenly coated.
Spread the tempeh and Brussels sprouts on the baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
While roasting, prepare the dressing by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, water, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Assemble the bowl by dividing the cooked quinoa, roasted tempeh, and Brussels sprouts between two bowls.
Drizzle with the tahini dressing and sprinkle with chopped walnuts if desired. Serve warm.
Chef's Tips
- Marinating Tip: For deeper flavor, marinate the tempeh for at least 30 minutes before roasting.
- Texture Tip: For extra crispiness, broil the tempeh and Brussels sprouts for the last 2-3 minutes of roasting.
- Dressing Variation: Substitute tahini with almond or peanut butter for a different flavor profile.
- Garnish Ideas: Add avocado slices, microgreens, or pickled onions for extra freshness and crunch.
- Meal Prep: This bowl can be prepped ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
