Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut sweet potato into 0.5-inch cubes and toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, paprika, 0.25 tsp salt, and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Pat chickpeas dry and toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, remaining salt and pepper. Spread on separate baking sheet.

  3. Step 3

    Toss broccoli florets with 0.5 tbsp olive oil and salt. Spread on third baking sheet.

  4. Step 4

    Roast sweet potato for 15 minutes. Add chickpea and broccoli sheets to oven; roast all together for 12-15 minutes until vegetables are tender and chickpeas are crispy.

  5. Step 5

    Meanwhile, rinse quinoa and combine with 1.5 cups water in a pot. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 15 minutes until tender and liquid is absorbed.

  6. Step 6

    Whisk tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, warm water, and salt in a small bowl until smooth and pourable. Add more water if needed.

  7. Step 7

    Divide cooked quinoa between two bowls. Arrange roasted vegetables, chickpeas, fresh cucumber, cherry tomatoes, avocado, red onion, and microgreens on top.

  8. Step 8

    Drizzle tahini dressing over each bowl and serve immediately.
