A vibrant and nutritious bowl featuring roasted veggies and chickpeas, drizzled with a delicious maple Dijon tahini dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
- 1 small sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional for garnish)
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2–3 tablespoons warm water (to thin)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss the drained chickpeas, cubed sweet potato, sliced bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well until the veggies are thoroughly coated.
- Spread the seasoned veggies and chickpeas onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly crispy.
- Whisk together tahini, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Gradually add warm water until you reach your desired dressing consistency.
- Once the veggies are beautifully roasted, divide the warm quinoa or brown rice among four bowls. Top generously with the roasted mix, fresh avocado slices, and drizzle that heavenly maple Dijon tahini dressing over each bowl.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro if desired. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
To maximize crispiness, ensure chickpeas are thoroughly dried before cooking. Pro tip: roast vegetables and prepare dressing a day in advance for quick assembly.
