Air Fried Tofu Over Rice

Air Fried Tofu Over Rice

1lb extra firm tofu, pressed & drained
1-2 sweet potatoes
2 avocados
2 cups rice
1/2-3/4 cup quinoa (or just rice)
2 cups chick peas
3 tomatoes
red onion
fresh spinach

Original Marinade (save leftovers as a dressing)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 T Olive oil
1 T soy sauce or tamari
2 cloves of garlic or tsp jarred garlic
1/2 tsp honey
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp black pepper

Or try this: 

2 tsp paprika

1 tsp onion powder

2 tsp jarred garlic

2 T soy sauce

2 T oil

1 tsp black pepper

salt to taste



The night before:
Press tofu over night then cut it into thirds (to make three sheets) then three columns and four rows.

The next morning:
Marinate the tofu until dinner prep time.

30ish minutes before dinner time: 
Slice a sweet potato and bake at 400 for 15 minutes then flip it to the other side for another 15 minutes.

Cook tofu in preheated air fryer at 375 for 7 minutes, flip, cook seven more minutes. May need five more minutes until brown and firm.

Cook quinoa for 1 minute in instant pot. Let pressure release naturally. Cook rice as usual. Mix together.
Serve over rice/quinoa with slices of tomato, avocado, and red onion. Add spinach and chick peas too. Yum! Serves 8?
