PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • 2

    Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and set aside.

  • 3

    Press the tofu gently to remove excess moisture and cut into small cubes.

  • 4

    In a large bowl, mix the nutritional yeast, unsweetened almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to form a creamy sauce.

  • 5

    Lightly toss the tofu cubes in a bit of salt and set aside.

  • 6

    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.

  • 7

    Arrange cauliflower florets and tofu cubes in a baking dish. Pour the almond milk-nutritional yeast sauce over them, ensuring an even coating.

  • 8

    Sprinkle the crispy chickpea crumbs evenly on top.

  • 9

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the chickpea crumbs are golden and crispy.

  • 10
