Ingredients
  

1 block extra-firm tofu, pressed and drained

1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup bell peppers, sliced (any color)

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 avocado, sliced

¼ cup scallions, chopped

¼ cup BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional toppings: sesame seeds or fresh cilantro

Instructions
 

Prep the Tofu: Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, toss the cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

    Bake the Tofu: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the seasoned tofu cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crunchy.

      Cook the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the broccoli and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. If using frozen corn, add it in the last 2 minutes.

        Mix the BBQ Sauce: Once the tofu is done baking, remove it from the oven and drizzle it with BBQ sauce. Toss to coat the tofu evenly.

          Assemble the Bowl: In a large bowl or plate, layer the cooked brown rice or quinoa first. Add sautéed vegetables over the grains, followed by the BBQ tofu.

            Garnish: Top with sliced avocado, scallions, and optional toppings like sesame seeds or fresh cilantro for extra flavor.

              Serve: Enjoy the bowl warm as a nourishing, filling meal!
