WHAT YOU NEED:
• extra firm tofu • brown rice • broccolini • fresh cilantro • olive oil • lime (zest + juice) • maple syrup • spices: garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt • pistachios (or other nuts + seeds)
MAKE RICE + PREP MARINADE
1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Make rice according to package instructions. Combine olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, maple syrup, garlic powder, red pepper flakes and salt together in a large bowl.
COOK TOFU
2
Press tofu to remove extra water and then chop into 1 inch cubes. Dip cubes into sauce to coat but allow any extra sauce to drip back off into the bowl. Place tofu on a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet to bake for 20 minutes.
ADD BROCCOLINI + COOK
3
Remove tofu from oven and flip while also pushing all tofu to one side of the sheet (it will be crowded, this is fine!). Dip broccolini into sauce and let extra liquid drip back off into the bowl. Place broccolini on the other side of the baking sheet. Bake tofu + broccolini for 15 minutes or until edges of broccolini are crisp and tofu is golden brown.
MAKE CILANTRO LIME RICE
4
Chop up cilantro and add half of it to your rice. For the remaining half chop up finely and add to the rest of your sauce liquid.
SERVE + ENJOY!
5
Divide rice between 4 bowls and top evenly with tofu and broccolini. Drizzle with remaining sauce and sprinkle with pistachios or other nuts and seeds for crunch.
