Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 400g green beans
- 450g firm tofu
- 4 cups broccoli

- 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or gluten-free tamari
- 1 teaspoon tapioca starch or arrowroot/corn flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon crushed pepper flakes
- Black sesame seeds to garnish for the dressing
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
- Slice the green beans in half and arrange them along one-third of a baking sheet. Cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces and put it on the baking sheet as well. Finally, arrange the broccoli along the last third of baking sheet.
- Whisk together the dressing ingredients until smooth and pour over the veggies and tofu. Stir together until everything is coated. Bake on the center rack for 25 - 30 minutes (flipping halfway through), until the veggies are nice and roasted.
