Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
In a bowl, toss tofu cubes gently with cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and pan-fry the tofu cubes until all sides are golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove tofu and set aside.
Meanwhile, chop mixed vegetables such as bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Toss with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a tiny drizzle of olive oil.
Spread the vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
If not already prepared, cook quinoa according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork.
Assemble your bowl by layering quinoa, roasted vegetables, and crispy tofu. Sprinkle hemp seeds on top.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-rich power bowl.
