Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into cubes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the tofu cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the tofu for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through to achieve a crispy exterior.
Meanwhile, prepare the roasted vegetables. In a bowl, lightly toss broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on another baking sheet.
Place the vegetables in the oven during the last 20 minutes of tofu baking, roasting until tender and slightly caramelized.
If using raw chickpeas, toss a 1/2 cup with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drop of olive oil, and roast them in the oven for about 20 minutes until crispy. Alternatively, use pre-roasted chickpeas.
To assemble the Buddha bowl, start with a base of cooked quinoa, then arrange the baked tofu, roasted chickpeas, and vegetables on top.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-rich meal!
