How to Make It
Step 1
Peel and cut the potato into bite-sized pieces. Cut the broccoli into smaller florets. Roughly chop the pepper. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes. Add the potato, broccoli, pepper, and tofu to a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with thyme, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine, making sure to coat everything with oil and seasoning.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange the tofu and vegetables in a single layer over the prepared baking tray. Bake for 25 minutes or until the potatoes are fully cooked through.
Step 3
Meanwhile, prepare the dressing. Add the tahini, lemon juice, and water to a bowl. Mix well to combine. Optionally, season with some salt. Set it aside.
Step 4
Roughly chop the spinach and arugula. Slice the cucumbers. Optionally, cut the tomatoes into smaller pieces. Add the spinach, arugula, cucumber, and tomatoes to serving bowls.
Step 5
Crumble the feta cheese. Top the fresh veggies with the tofu mixture. Add the olives and crumbled cheese.
