INGREDIENTS
300g Cauliflower
1/2 cup Chickpeas, drained
2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
150g Firm Tofu
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and set aside.
Press the tofu gently to remove excess moisture and cut into small cubes.
In a large bowl, mix the nutritional yeast, unsweetened almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to form a creamy sauce.
Lightly toss the tofu cubes in a bit of salt and set aside.
In another bowl, combine the chickpeas with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Use a fork or potato masher to roughly crumble them into a coarse, breadcrumb-like texture.
Arrange cauliflower florets and tofu cubes in a baking dish. Pour the almond milk-nutritional yeast sauce over them, ensuring an even coating.
Sprinkle the crispy chickpea crumbs evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the chickpea crumbs are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven, adjust seasonings if needed, and serve warm.
