Servings: 1 bowl

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup quinoa
  • 1 - 1.5 cup water
  • 1/4 block super firm tofu I used Trader Joe's high protein tofu
  • 1/2 lemon, juice from
  • 1/3 cup nutritional yeast

  • 2 tsp avocado oil
  • 1 cup green beans
  • 1/2 cup green peas
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 sprig thyme

Instructions

  • cook quinoa in water with a pinch of salt. start with 1 cup of water, and increase to 1.5 if quinoa isn't fluffy enough.
  • cut tofu into blocks and squeeze lemon juice into a shallow dish. on a plate add the nutritional yeast, bread crumbs, pepper, and sea salt and mix to combine.
  • dip tofu into the lemon juice then into the crumbs mixture. make sure to coat each side of the tofu and set aside. when you've coated all of the tofu cubes, cook in your air fryer for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. if you don't have an air fryer, you can use a regular oven. after 10 minutes flip tofu.
  • sautee green beans and peas with a drop of avocado oil, paprika, garlic powder, and sea salt. cook for about 10 minutes on a medium heat.
  • sprinkle rosemary on top and serve with a lemon wedge.
