- Add tofu to the sauce and let marinate for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. While tofu is marinating, prep veggies.

- Meanwhile, add broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper to bowl with marinade and mix well every few minutes.
- Also, while tofu is cooking, cook spinach on the stovetop, just until wilted, making sure not to overcook.
- Once tofu is done, remove from air fryer and set aside. Then add vegetables to air fryer basket, again leaving marinade in bowl. Cook vegetables for 10 minutes, giving the basket a good shake every few minutes.
- In a large serving bowl - begin to build your Buddha Bowl. First add cooked quinoa (or rice), then spread the cooked veggies evenly. Next add the cooked spinach, and finally the tofu. Pour over remaining marinade and garnish with sesame seeds. Enjoy!
