Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Set aside.
Press the tofu to remove excess water by wrapping it in a clean towel and placing a heavy object on top for about 10 minutes. Then cut into 1-inch cubes.
Chop the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Cut the red bell pepper and zucchini into 1-inch chunks. Slice the red onion into thick wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, tofu cubes, broccoli, red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion.
Drizzle the vegetables and tofu in the bowl with olive oil, then sprinkle in the garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables and tofu are well coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and starting to caramelize and the tofu is slightly golden.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the roasted vegetables and tofu with hemp seeds and sunflower seeds for added protein and crunch.
Serve warm as a side dish or a main course, enjoying the delightful blend of savory flavors and textures. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
