Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C. Cut the brussels sprouts in half. Add the brussels sprouts, onions and apples together onto a silpat lined or foil greased baking sheet.

Step 2

Mix the olive oil, maple syrup, salt and pepper together then drizzle over brussels sprouts mixture. Stir until everything is thoroughly coated (you can use your hands if you want). Turn all of the Brussels sprouts halves with the cut side down. This ensures that they get beautifully caramelised. Add some thyme sprigs to the baking sheets on top of or around the vegetables.

Step 3

Bake for 35 minutes, shaking the pan a few times while baking, until apples are tender, onions soft and brussels sprouts begin to caramelise. You'll want to watch it around the 30 minute mark that it doesn't burn. Some of the Brussels sprouts skins may darken a lot, but they still taste delicious (and not burnt)

Step 4

Add the pressed and cubed tofu and chickpeas to a lined baking sheet, on opposite sides. OR, add them to separate bowls (whichever is easiest for you) before adding to the baking sheet. Watch the video below!

Step 5

Sprinkle over all of the seasoning ingredients (garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper) EXCEPT the cornstarch and coat to combine.

Step 6

Add the cornstarch to the tofu only, and coat to combine. Lay out the tofu so it isn't touching, and then lay out the chickpeas on the other side of the baking sheet. It's okay if this touches.

Step 7

When the oven is at the 20 minute mark, add in this baking sheet and baked for 20 minutes, flipping the tofu at the 10 minute make and also stirring around the chickpeas at this time, then back into the oven for the final 10 minutes.

Step 8

Add Kale to a separate lined baking sheet. Add the olive oil, sea salt and black pepper and massage into the kale. Spread the kale apart on the baking sheet.

Step 9

Bake for the last 5-10 minutes in the oven alongside the rest of the vegetables.

Step 10

Whisk all the ingredients together with a spoon. Drizzle over the bowls, or store in the fridge until needed.

Step 11

Portion out the bowls as in the video, drizzle with some sauce, serve and enjoy!
