Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss tofu cubes with 1 tbsp olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on one side of the baking sheet.
Toss broccoli florets with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on the other side of the baking sheet.
Roast tofu and broccoli for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until tofu is crispy and broccoli is tender.
While roasting, prepare the tahini dressing by whisking together tahini, maple syrup, lemon juice, and water until smooth.
Assemble the Buddha bowl: Divide quinoa between two bowls. Top with roasted tofu, broccoli, avocado, carrot, and red cabbage. Drizzle with tahini dressing.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tips
- Pressing Tofu: Press tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess water for crispier results.
- Veggie Variations: Swap broccoli for cauliflower or Brussels sprouts if preferred.
- Protein Boost: Add chickpeas or edamame for extra protein.
- Meal Prep: Cook quinoa and chop veggies ahead of time for quicker assembly.
- Dressing Tip: Adjust water in tahini dressing for desired consistency—thicker or thinner as you like.
