Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them lengthwise into long, thin strips about 1/4-inch thick. These will act as the 'noodles' in the lasagna.
In a large skillet, sauté the spinach over medium heat until just wilted. Set aside.
Steam the broccoli and carrots until tender but not mushy. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tofu, nutritional yeast, Italian seasoning, and garlic. Mash with a fork or mix with your hands until it forms a crumbly, ricotta-like texture. Set aside.
In a medium pan, sauté the mushrooms, red bell peppers, and green onions until tender, about 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix the marinara sauce with the canned diced tomatoes and the no-salt seasoning blend.
Begin assembling the lasagna: Spread a thin layer of the marinara mixture on the bottom of a large baking dish.
Place a layer of sweet potato slices over the sauce, followed by a layer of the tofu mixture, a layer of sautéed vegetables, and then a layer of the steamed broccoli and carrots. Sprinkle a portion of the corn and wilted spinach on top.
Repeat the layering process (sauce, sweet potato slices, tofu, vegetables, corn, spinach) until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of marinara sauce on top.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Allow the lasagna to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
