This bowl gets a unique kick from maple mustard coated broccoli that gets a smoky, caramelized char from roasting. The tofu has a spicy, crispy coating and the pickled onions add a tangy crunch.

DIRECTIONS
1. Make tofu: Slice tofu 1/4-inch-thick. Place on a cutting board between paper towels; top with a baking sheet and large cans or other weights; let sit 10 minutes. Toss with cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne. Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet on medium-high. Carefully add tofu and cook until deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt and pepper.
2. Make broccoli: On a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper, toss broccoli with maple mustard dressing, olive oil, and salt. Roast at 425°F, tossing once, until tender and charred in spots, 25 to 30 minutes.
3. Make pickled onions: Whisk together red wine vinegar, sugar, and salt. Toss with small red onion, thinly sliced. Let sit, tossing occasionally, for at least 20 minutes or refrigerate up to 3 days.
4. Assemble bowls: Combine quinoa, tofu, broccoli, pickled onions, and pepitas or chopped pistachios in a bowl.
