Ingredients

Rice Bowl

  • 1 cup dry brown rice *sub quinoa for another option
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 medium parsnips chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 medium rainbow carrots chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 cups broccoli crowns chopped into even-sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil, split
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus extra to sprinkle on the tofu
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 block firm tofu dried and pressed, cut into cubes
  • 1 bunch chard or kale roughly chopped, including stems

Lemon Tahini Sauce

  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or garlic-infused oil; try Fody Foods brand
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds for garnish
  • 1/8 cup cilantro leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • Cook the rice according to package instructions. (Generally 1 cup rice, rinsed, to 2 cups water brought to a boil. Add a lid and simmer on low/medium for 40 minutes)
  • While the rice is cooking, place the chopped parsnips, carrots, and broccoli heads onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the veggies with 1 1/2 tablespoons of avocado oil and then the salt and pepper. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the parsnip is fork-tender.
  • While your vegetables are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu, leaving room between each piece. Sprinkle it with salt. Let them sit for about 6 to 7 minutes, undisturbed. Once the underside starts to get golden brown, turn each piece and cook for another 3 minutes. When you flip the tofu, toss in the greens and cover the pan. sauté the leafy green of choice for 2 to 4 minutes on top of the tofu. They will wilt nicely in the heat.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, use a whisk to combine the tahini, lemon juice, oil, water, and salt. Add more water 1 tablespoon at a time if needed to reach pouring consistency.
  • Assemble bowls with the rice as the base, sautéed leafy greens and tofu, parsnip, carrots, broccoli. Top with the lemon tahini sauce. Add 1 tablespoon of pumpkin seeds and cilantro if you'd like.
