The method

1. Gather & prepare

   Drain and pat 400g firm tofu (drained, 2 cm cubes) dry; cut into cubes and read the packet cooking instructions. Drain 240g tinned chickpeas. Cut 250g broccoli (small florets) into small florets. Zest and juice 1 whole lemon (zest and juice). Measure 30g tahini and 40ml water.

2. Set the oven

   Set the oven to 190°C fan. Allow space around each tray.

3. Preheat the oven

   Wait for the oven to reach 190°C fan. The 10-minute estimate is a guide: confirm the oven indicator before continuing.

4. Prepare the tray & load

   Toss 400g firm tofu (drained, 2 cm cubes), 240g tinned chickpeas (drained) and 250g broccoli (small florets) with 15ml olive oil and half the lemon juice. Spread in a single layer on the tray; use a tray large enough for the selected batch. Load the preheated oven.

5. Roast

   Roast at 190°C fan. Stay nearby and check at the end of the estimate.

   Check: Check the food is steaming hot throughout, and vegetables are tender. Follow cooking instructions on the ingredient packets if longer. A finished timer is a reminder to check, never proof of doneness.

6. Check, finish & portion

   Check the broccoli is tender, the tofu is steaming hot and its packet cooking instructions are met. In a clean bowl, mix 30g tahini, the remaining lemon juice, lemon zest and 40ml water. Spoon over the cooked tray before portioning. Check the food is steaming hot throughout, and vegetables are tender. Follow cooking instructions on the ingredient packets if longer. A finished timer is a reminder to check, never proof of doneness. Serve now or portion for prompt cooling; do not wait for the other meals to finish.
