Meal Prep Sesame Tofu Quinoa Bowls

Read...

I've honestly been so bad about meal prep lately. I love the concept, but I just can't seem to make the time for it. So there I am, lunchtime rolls around, and I'm scrounging my fridge trying to find something to eat. I usually end up with crackers, hummus, and avocado toast (with the occasional egg on top). Not really a balanced meal!

Meal Prep Sesame Tofu Quinoa Bowls:

Ingredients

• 1 lb green beans
• 1 block extra firm tofu (preferably pressed)
• 4 cups broccoli crowns
• 2 cups cooked quinoa

for the dressing

• 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons gluten-free tamari
• 1 teaspoon tapioca starch (or arrowroot/corn)
• 1/2 teaspoon Simply Organic garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Simply Organic ginger
• 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon Simply Organic crushed

 pepper flakes

• Optional: Simply Organic black sesame seeds to garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
2. Slice the green beans in half and arrange them along one-third of a baking sheet. Cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces and put it on the baking sheet as well. Finally, arrange the broccoli along the last third of baking sheet.
3. Whisk together the dressing ingredients until smooth and pour over the veggies and tofu. Stir together until everything is coated. Bake on the center rack for 25 - 30 minutes (flipping halfway through), until the veggies are nice and roasted.
4. Assemble your bowls (or meal prep containers): add 1/2 cup of quinoa to each, along with 1/4 of the veggies and tofu. Drizzle with additional tamari and hot sauce if desired!
