How to Make Spinach And Roasted Garlic Tart

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roast the garlic: Separate 1 head of garlic into cloves, leaving the papery skin on. Lightly coat with cooking spray and roast on a sheet pan for 20 minutes, or until soft. Let cool, then peel off the skins.
Cook 1 cup quinoa in 2 cups water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed.
While the quinoa cooks, prepare the filling: In a food processor, combine 1 block (14 oz) firm or extra-firm tofu, the roasted garlic cloves, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Process until completely smooth.
Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and transfer it to a large bowl.
Stir the tofu mixture, 5 oz fresh spinach (chopped), 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (such as thyme or oregano), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper into the quinoa.
Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan or tart pan with cooking spray.
Pour the quinoa mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm, at room temperature, or reheated!
