Ingredients
Scale
Roasted Vegetables and Chickpeas
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup cauliflower florets
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
Maple Dijon Tahini Dressing
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2–3 tablespoons warm water to thin
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare veggies: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the chickpeas, diced sweet potato, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, and sliced red bell pepper evenly on a large baking sheet.
- Season and toss: Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and chickpeas. Sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper on top. Toss everything thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly with oil and seasonings.
- Roast the vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.
- Make the dressing: While the veggies roast, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of warm water. Add more warm water if needed to reach a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Assemble the bowl: Divide the cooked quinoa or brown rice into 2–3 serving bowls. Top each bowl with the roasted vegetables and chickpeas.
- Dress and serve: Drizzle the maple Dijon tahini dressing generously over each bowl and serve warm.
