A 580-calorie Lunch recipe from MunchInIt. Serves 2. Prep 10 min, cook 15 min.

Ingredients

• 300g firm tofu, pressed and cubed
• 2 tbsp harissa paste
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 medium courgettes (zucchini)
• 2 tbsp tahini
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp warm water
• Pinch of garlic powder
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

1. Prep: Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess water. Cube the tofu into 1-inch pieces. In a bowl, toss the tofu with harissa paste and olive oil until evenly coated.
2. Air Fry Tofu: Preheat your air fryer to 190°C (375°F). Place the marinated tofu in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
3. Prepare Courgette Noodles: While the tofu is cooking, use a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler to create "noodles" from the courgettes.
4. Make Tahini Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, warm water, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Add more warm water if needed to reach desired consistency.
5. Assemble: Divide the courgette noodles between two plates. Top with the crispy harissa tofu.
6. Serve: Drizzle generously with the tahini sauce and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
