Description
A sweet and smoky vegan meal prep packed with grilled BBQ tofu, caramelized pineapple, roasted veggies, and fluffy quinoa. Perfect for a healthy lunch on-the-go.
Ingredients
¾ cup uncooked quinoa
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 zucchini, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
2 bell peppers, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
12 oz extra-firm tofu
½ cup barbecue sauce (plus 4 tablespoons for drizzling)
8 pineapple rings
Instructions
1. Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels with a heavy object on top for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture. After pressing, slice into ¾ x 3-inch sticks.
2. Rinse and cook quinoa according to package instructions.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high. Toss chopped zucchini, red onion, and bell peppers with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Grill using a grill plate for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Place pineapple rings on the grill and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until grill marks appear.
5. Lightly grease the grill grates. Grill tofu sticks for 3–4 minutes per side, brushing with barbecue sauce throughout to build flavor and color.
6. Evenly divide cooked quinoa, grilled vegetables, tofu, and pineapple among four meal prep containers. Drizzle each bowl with an additional tablespoon of barbecue sauce.
7. Let bowls cool completely, then refrigerate. To serve, reheat until hot.
Notes
For spicier flavor, use a chipotle BBQ sauce or add red pepper flakes to your glaze. Tofu can also be baked if grilling isn’t an option.
