Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Begin by preparing your vegetables: cut the broccoli into bite-size florets, slice the red bell pepper into strips, halve the Brussels sprouts, and thinly slice the red onion.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly, and set them aside to dry.
Cut the extra firm tofu into 1-inch cubes and gently press them with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the vegetables, chickpeas, and tofu.
Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture. Add garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss everything together until well coated.
Spread the vegetable mix evenly onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Sprinkle nutritional yeast over the top of the vegetables for a cheesy umami flavor that also boosts protein content.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Once the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, remove them from the oven.
Serve warm as a main dish or as a side, and enjoy your high-protein meal!
