Directions
Begin by preheating the oven to 180c and scattering the chickpeas on a baking tray lined with your silicone reusable baking mat.
Add the paprika and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and give the tray a shake before placing in the oven.
Next in a bowl combine the tofu chunks with the cornflour, garlic granules and remaining tablespoon of olive oil. When evenly coated scatter the chunks on another lined baking tray. Add the sliced pepper and tenderstem broccoli to the same tray and place in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile prepare the pesto tahini by combining all of the ingredients together.
Line the bowls with salad leaves and add everything else on top.
Either serve the pesto tahini in the avocado or dollop all over.
Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and chilli flakes should you wish.
Recipe Note
Change things up as you like - add pickled onions, leftover veg, a veggie patty - the options are endless.
