Ingredients

Scale

For the Bowl:

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice

  • 1 cup sweet potato, peeled and diced

  • 1/2 cup chickpeas (canned, rinsed and drained)

  • 1/2 cup broccoli florets

  • 1/2 avocado, sliced

  • 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage or carrots

  • 1 handful baby spinach or kale

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sliced green onions

For the Tahini Dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons tahini

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey

  • 1 small garlic clove, minced

  • 23 tablespoons warm water (to thin)

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Roast the Veggies: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and slightly crisp.

  2. Cook Grains: If not already cooked, prepare quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions.

  3. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic, salt, and water until smooth and pourable.

  4. Assemble the Bowl: In a large bowl or meal prep container, layer quinoa, spinach, roasted veggies, red cabbage, and avocado. Drizzle with tahini dressing and add any optional toppings.

  5. Serve warm or cold and enjoy!

Notes

  • Swap sweet potato for roasted butternut squash or carrots.

  • Add grilled tofu, tempeh, or a soft-boiled egg for extra protein.

  • Great for meal prep—just store dressing separately until ready to eat.
