Spinach and quinoa Buddha bowl with roast beetroot and lime tofu

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Main Courses
The Buddha bowl concept is about balance: grain, vegetable, protein, and healthy fats in one bowl, artfully arranged. The earthy taste of beetroot is complemented by the acidity of lime, the neutrality of tofu by the umami of soy sauce, and the softness of spinach by the crunch of sesame seeds. This isn't just food, it's a 'nutrient puzzle' where every element has a function.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Sieve: For thorough washing of quinoa.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Soya
⚠️ Sesame seeds

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Peel the beetroot, dice it, toss with a little oil and salt. Place on a baking tray.

Tip: The sugar content of beetroot caramelises during roasting, making it much tastier than the boiled version.
2 ✓

Dice the tofu, mix with soy sauce and juice of half a lime. Place on the tray next to the beetroot (or a separate tray). Bake for approx. 25-30 minutes.

Tip: Tofu is also tastier baked: the outside gets a crust, the inside stays soft. The marinade flavours it during baking.
3 ✓

Meanwhile, wash the quinoa in a sieve under running water. Cook in double the amount of salted water for 15 minutes, then turn off the heat and let steam under a lid for 5 minutes.

Tip: During steaming (resting), the grains absorb remaining water and 'open up' (the little germ ring appears), becoming fluffy.
4 ✓

Slice the avocado. Wash the spinach.

Tip: Drizzle the avocado with lime to prevent browning (oxidation).
5 ✓

Assemble the bowl: quinoa at the bottom, topped with groups of roasted beetroot, baked tofu, fresh spinach, and avocado.

Tip: Aesthetics are part of the experience: don't mix it up, leave in separate piles.
6 ✓

Sprinkle with sesame seeds, coriander, and drizzle with the remaining lime oil.

Tip: Black sesame adds a dramatic visual contrast.
