Ingredients & Substitutions
Firm tofu is key for that nice texture when baked. If you can find extra-firm, that works great too! Nutritional yeast adds a lovely cheesy flavor, but if you don't have it, you can skip it or use a vegan vegan cheese alternative. And don’t forget, you can swap in any greens you have on hand—spinach or vegan swiss cheese chard would be lovely!
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep the tofu pressed overnight; it makes it even crispier when baked!
- •If you want to spice it up, add a teaspoon of chili flakes to the tofu marinade.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add roasted sweet potatoes for a sweet and savory combo.
- •You can throw in some shredded carrots for a pop of color and crunch!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat the tofu and kale gently in a skillet before serving again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the tofu and kale in advance, then just reheat them when you're ready to eat. Just keep the quinoa separate until serving.
What can I add for more protein?
You can toss in some chickpeas or lentils for an extra protein boost—both go really well with the flavors here!

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

While the oven is heating, prepare the tofu. After pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture, cut it into bite-sized cubes.
- 3
In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Make sure they're well-coated.
- 4
Spread the tofu cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- 5
While the tofu is baking, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- 6
Add the chopped kale to the skillet, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until wilted and tender. Stir in the nutritional yeast and lemon juice.
- 7
Once the tofu is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- 8
To assemble your power bowl, start with a base of cooked quinoa or brown rice, then top with the sautéed kale and crispy tofu.
- 9
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and add any additional toppings you love—like avocado or cherry tomatoes. Enjoy!
