Ingredients
Yield

1 portion

Protein
¾ cup extra-firm tofu (about 4 oz), pressed and cut into 1-inch cubes

Vegetables
Choose 2 portions, ~1 cup each
Broccoli (steamed or roasted)
Spinach (fresh or lightly sautéed)
Bell peppers (raw slices or roasted)
Kale (lightly sautéed with lemon)

Seasoning Optional
1 tsp olive oil or avocado oil (optional)
1 tsp low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos (optional, for flavor)
Fresh lemon or lime wedges
Garlic powder, smoked paprika, or chili flakes (to taste)

Directions

Prepare the tofu

Press tofu with paper towels or a tofu press for at least 10 minutes to remove excess water.

Cut into cubes, toss lightly with oil, garlic powder, paprika, and a splash of soy sauce/coconut aminos.

Air fry at 375°F for 12–15 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and crispy.


Cook the veggies

If using leafy greens (spinach, kale): sauté quickly in a pan with a squeeze of lemon.

For hearty veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, asparagus, peppers): roast or air fry at 375°F for 10–15 minutes until tender but crisp.

Assemble the plate

Place crispy tofu pieces in the center.

Add 2 portions of vegetables on the side.

Garnish with fresh lemon/lime juice and herbs.

Optional flavor boost

Drizzle 1 tsp low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos over tofu for a tasty finish.
