Smoky High-Protein BBQ Tofu and Veggie Bowls Recipe
Start with the quinoa. Rinse one cup of quinoa in cold water. This removes the bitter coating. Then, put it in a saucepan with two cups of vegetable broth. Bring it to a boil. Lower the heat and cover the pot. Let it cook for about 15 minutes. The quinoa will absorb the broth and become fluffy. Use a fork to fluff it up when done.
Next, prepare the tofu. Take one block of firm tofu and press it to remove water. Cut it into cubes. In a bowl, mix the tofu with three tablespoons of smoky BBQ sauce, one tablespoon of olive oil, one teaspoon of smoked paprika, one teaspoon of garlic powder, one teaspoon of onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss it well to coat every piece.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tofu cubes. Cook them for about 5 to 7 minutes. Turn them often until they are golden and a bit crispy. This step adds a nice texture and flavor to the tofu.
Now it’s time for the veggies. In the same skillet, add one chopped bell pepper, one sliced zucchini, one cup of halved cherry tomatoes, and one cup of corn. Sauté these for about 5 to 7 minutes. You want the vegetables to be tender but still bright and colorful.
To serve, divide the cooked quinoa into bowls. Top each bowl with the smoky BBQ tofu and sautéed veggies. For a fresh touch, add some chopped cilantro or parsley on top. This adds color and flavor to your dish. Enjoy your healthy and tasty meal!
