Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 425°F. Toss tofu cubes with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a sheet pan.

  2. Step 2

    Roast tofu 18–20 minutes, stirring halfway, until edges are golden and crispy.

  3. Step 3

    While tofu roasts, cook quinoa in salted water according to package directions until fluffy.

  4. Step 4

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large bowl. Toss greens with minced garlic, salt, and pepper until wilted, ~60 seconds.

  5. Step 5

    Whisk tahini with lemon juice, 3 tbsp water, and salt until smooth. Add more water if too thick.

  6. Step 6

    Divide quinoa and greens between bowls. Top with roasted tofu, warm lentils, tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle tahini dressing over top.
