What You Need
You’ll need some basic ingredients to make a tasty vegan high-protein casserole. First, grab a block of firm tofu. This will be your protein base. Make sure to press it to remove any excess water.
Next, you’ll need a cup of quinoa or lentils. These add extra protein and texture. Cook them according to the package instructions before adding them to the casserole.
You’ll also need some veggies like bell peppers, onions, and spinach. Chop them up into bite-size pieces.
Don’t forget a can of black beans. They add even more protein and fiber. Make sure to rinse and drain them first.
For flavor, grab some tomato sauce or diced tomatoes. This will bring everything together. Season with spices like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
You’ll also need some vegan cheese (mozzarella or cheddar). This gives a cheesy flavor without the dairy.
Finally, have some olive oil or vegetable broth on hand. This will help sauté the veggies and keep everything moist while baking.
With these ingredients, you’re ready to start cooking a delicious vegan high-protein casserole.
