Ingredients

• 3 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 2 cups Brussels sprouts
• 1 medium Red onion
• 1 15 oz can Chickpeas
• 14 oz Extra firm tofu
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly, and set them aside to dry.

Step 4

Cut the extra firm tofu into 1-inch cubes and gently press them with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine all the vegetables, chickpeas, and tofu.

Step 6

Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture. Add garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss everything together until well coated.

Step 7

Spread the vegetable mix evenly onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Sprinkle nutritional yeast over the top of the vegetables for a cheesy umami flavor that also boosts protein content.

Step 9

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 10

Once the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, remove them from the oven.

Step 11

Serve warm as a main dish or as a side, and enjoy your high-protein meal!
