Ingredients
Tahini & Tamari Sauce:
Method
In large bowl, mix squash with 1 tbsp of oil; season with salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread squash on parchment paper-lined baking sheet; bake for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in bowl, mix broccoli with 1 tbsp oil. Spread broccoli on separate baking sheet; bake until broccoli is crisp and squash is tender, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in saucepan, combine quinoa and 2 cups water; bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff grains with a fork and set aside.
In large bowl, combine tamari, tofu and maple syrup; mix gently. Sprinkle panko, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, garlic powder and cayenne over top; mix gently. In large nonstick skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat; cook tofu mixture, stirring occasionally, until tofu is golden and slightly crisp,
6 to 8 minutes.
Tahini & Tamari Sauce
Using blender, mix together nutritional yeast flakes, tahini, tamari, cider vinegar, lemon juice and garlic until puréed. (Make-ahead: Can be covered and refrigerated for 5 days.)
Divide quinoa, squash, broccoli, tofu and tomatoes among bowls. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and drizzle with sauce.
Test Kitchen Tip: Serve hot or at room temperature—it's absolutely delicious either way.
