• 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

• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, chopped red bell pepper, drained chickpeas, and cubed tofu.

Step 3

Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and protein mix. Toss gently to ensure all pieces are coated evenly.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd the sheet to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
