Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets
- 1 large Red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 15 oz can Chickpeas, canned and drained
- 14 oz Extra firm tofu, drained and cubed
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, chopped red bell pepper, drained chickpeas, and cubed tofu.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and protein mix. Toss gently to ensure all pieces are coated evenly.
Sprinkle the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the mix. Toss again to coat all pieces well with the spices.
Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd the sheet to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
Once the vegetables are tender and slightly crispy and the tofu is golden, remove from the oven.
Serve warm as a main dish or side, enjoying the protein-packed goodness and vibrant flavors.
