Preheat the oven to 220C.
Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
Bring 1 cup of low-sodium vegetable broth to a boil in a saucepan, then add 0.5 cup dry quinoa. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until broth is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy, about 14 minutes.
While quinoa cooks, place 1 head cauliflower (cut into 1-inch pieces), 8 roma tomatoes (quartered), 3 large carrots (cut into 1-inch pieces), 0.5 yellow onion (quartered), and 1 whole garlic bulb (top cut off) on the sheet pan.
Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon chili powder (optional). Toss to coat, ensuring garlic is top side up in the center.
Bake the vegetables until very soft, about 35 minutes.
Transfer cooked quinoa to another large sheet pan (unlined) and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt to taste. Bake to crisp, stirring halfway, until golden, about 23 minutes.
Once vegetables are done, squeeze roasted garlic cloves into a blender, add roasted vegetables, 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, and 425 g can of drained cannellini beans.
Blend on high speed until smooth, or use an immersion blender in a pot.
Serve soup in bowls topped with crispy quinoa.
