Season both sides of the tofu with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and pat the spices down to make sure they stick.

Coat each tofu cube in nutritional yeast, pressing to ensure a light coating on all sides.

Place the tofu in an air fryer in a single layer at 400 degrees for 13 to 15 minutes, or bake on a lined baking sheet at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

In a non-stick skillet, add the pre-made veggie mix with a couple of tablespoons of water and the spices (garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika).

Sauté the veggies for about 5 minutes on medium heat.

Add coconut aminos, baby kale, and frozen peas to the skillet, cover, and cook for another 3 minutes until peas are heated through.
