Serves: 2

Ingredients

1 bunch Brussels Sprouts, de-stemmed and sliced
7 oz Tofu, pressed and cubed
4 tsp Nutritional Yeast, separated

4 cups Baby Spinach, (or salad greens of choice)
0.5 cup Brown Rice, whole grain medley, wild rice, or grains of choice

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Toss the brussels sprouts with enough avocado oil to coat them, sea salt, and pepper, and roast in the oven for 15-20 mins at 450 degrees until crispy.
In the meantime, toss the tofu with 2 tsp nutritional yeast.
Heat a pan with just enough avocado oil to coat the bottom over high heat. Once hot, turn down to medium high and add the tofu (it should sizzle immediately). Cook, rotating the tofu every 2-3 mins until all sides are crispy (~12-18 mins total).
In a bowl, mix together the hot sauce and 2 tsp nutritional yeast. Toss the tofu with the sauce until fully coated.
In 2 separate bowls, split the spinach, roasted Brussels sprouts, grains, and dressing. Toss together, and top with the spicy tofu.
Enjoy!
