It’s January, and it’s time to reset! It’s not new news that people like to try to kick off a new year with healthier choices. If I could offer you any piece of advice, it’s that if you start small with changing your diet, then it’ll seem less overwhelming, and you’ll be more likely to follow it. One way you can do this is by picking one meal to really focus on making changes in. For example, lunch, by prepping this delicious tofu power bowl. This recipe is a great intro to a vegan diet, it’s easy-to-make, and although it’s healthy, it doesn’t lack in flavor at all.

🍲 Ingredients

Firm Tofu – Tofu provides complete plant-based protein containing all essential amino acids while being naturally low in calories and cholesterol-free. When properly prepared with marinades and roasting, tofu develops a crispy exterior and creamy interior that absorbs flavors beautifully, making it the perfect protein centerpiece for this nutritious power bowl.

Plant Goddess Dressing – This nutrition-packed dressing is commonly found in stores. If you want to make it, it combines lemon juice, tahini, apple cider vinegar, tamari, toasted sesame oil, garlic, parsley, and chives for an earthy, complex flavor that works perfectly as both marinade and finishing sauce.

👩‍🍳 How to Make This Tofu Power Bowl

1. Preheat the oven to 400F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper
2. Prepare quinoa as instructed on the package and set to cool
3. To one of the baking sheets, add the cubed sweet potato and pour over the 3 tbsp. of plant goddess. You can add as much of this dressing as you like, the more, the better
4. Bake for 35 minutes, checking a few times to flip them and ensure no burning is happening
5. To the other baking sheet, add the cauliflower and drizzle with avocado oil to crisp it up nicely (use up 1/4 of the pan to do this)
6. To the other 3/4 of the pan, add the tofu but first, submerge them all in the 4 tbsp. of plant goodness dressing. Transfer them to the baking sheet and cook for 35 minutes, flipping them halfway through
7. Once everything has cooked, simply combine it by adding everything to a large serving tray or bowl or meal prep containers and top with cilantro, cashews, and whatever toppings your heart desires. OH and the dressing 😉

🪄 Tips and Tricks

• Even Cooking: Check vegetables a few times during roasting and flip to ensure even browning and prevent burning.
• Dressing Distribution: The more dressing you use for marinating, the more flavorful your vegetables and tofu will be.
• Meal Prep: These bowls keep well for 3-4 days when components are stored properly in the refrigerator.
• Customization: Feel free to add whatever toppings your heart desires – this recipe is very flexible.

🗒 Variations

• Protein: Tempeh or chickpeas can substitute for tofu while maintaining plant-based protein content.
• Grains: Brown rice, farro, or cauliflower rice work well instead of quinoa for different textures.
• Vegetables: Any roasted vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or bell peppers work beautifully.
• Dressing: Any tahini-based or Asian-inspired dressing can substitute if Earth Goddess isn’t available.
