Roasted Veggies and Baked Tofu With Quinoa

We’re going to make these roasted veggies and baked tofu with quinoa as the main dish of our Christmas dinner. We love this recipe because is pretty easy, super healthy and has an intense flavor. At the end of the week we’ll share a Christmas round-up with more main dishes and many other recipes for the holidays.

I eat quinoa at least once or twice a week, specially for dinner with a beautiful salad. It’s quite inexpensive here in Spain, but it’s worth it! If you can’t afford it or don’t like it, use brown rice or any other cereal instead.

Enjoying delicious and healthy food for Christmas is really easy, you’re going to feel better and you won’t miss the unhealthy dishes. In addition, healthy recipes like this one are ready in less than an hour. ?

Tips:

• To get a super crispy tofu, bake it in another baking dish and add it when you add the quinoa and the pomegranate seeds.
• If you don’t like tofu, use other veggies, tempeh or seitan instead.
• If you’re going to reheat this dish, add the pomegranate seeds just before serving.
• Baking time may vary depending or the oven.
