Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Prepare the vegetables: Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Slice the red bell pepper into strips and the carrots into thin rounds.
Cut the firm tofu into 1-inch cubes. Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared broccoli, cauliflower, bell pepper, carrots, tofu, and chickpeas.
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper to make the herb seasoning.
Pour the herb seasoning over the vegetable mixture and toss everything together until the vegetables, tofu, and chickpeas are evenly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly crispy around the edges.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for garnish and extra flavor.
Serve warm as a high-protein side dish or a main course. Enjoy!
