1 red onion, chopped
2 bell peppers, chopped
Salt & pepper, to taste
12 oz extra-firm tofu, pressed & cubed
½ cup BBQ sauce (plus more for drizzling)

Instructions
Rinse quinoa, then cook with 1½ cups water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 mins. Fluff and set aside.
Roast the Veggies:

Prepare the Tofu:
Toss tofu cubes in BBQ sauce. Bake on a separate sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 20 mins, flipping halfway for even caramelization.
Grill or Sear Pineapple:
Lightly grill or pan-sear pineapple rings for 2–3 mins per side until caramelized.
Assemble the Bowls:
