It may not feel like it yet, but it’s officially Spring! After months of eating heavier, starchier meals, we get filled with excitement and anticipation for the brighter, more delicate Spring produces ahead. Try the one below:
Tofu, red cabbage, and broccoli get roasted on one sheet pan for a speedy dinner. Pick your grain (prep it ahead), top it with the sheet pan tofu and veggies, and add in the creamy bright artichoke sauce for an easy spring dinner. Toasted nuts add crunch and fresh herbs and lemon brighten everything up!

-
2 cups cooked grains (rice, quinoa, farro, pasta)

1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed (about 1 1/2 heaping cups quartered)

1⁄4 cup water
-
1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp tahini
-
1 tbsp lemon juice

Spread into an even layer and bake for 20 minutes, or until the broccoli and red cabbage is slightly charred.

Substitutions:
