  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. On a separate section of the baking sheet, toss chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, paprika, and salt.
  4. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until sweet potatoes are tender and chickpeas are crispy.
  5. While roasting, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic, warm water, and salt until smooth.
  6. Divide quinoa or brown rice between serving bowls.
  7. Add spinach, roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, cucumber, carrots, avocado, and red onion.
  8. Drizzle with tahini dressing and serve immediately.

Notes

Dry chickpeas thoroughly before roasting for maximum crispiness. Cut sweet potatoes into even cubes for consistent cooking. Add warm water slowly to the dressing until it reaches your preferred consistency. Meal prep ingredients separately for fresh bowls all week. Add extra lemon juice for a brighter dressing flavor.
