Roasted Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 tsp garlic powder, divided
- 1 tsp salt, divided
- ½ tsp black pepper, divided
Maple Dijon Tahini Dressing
- ¼ cup tahini
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2–4 tbsp water (to thin dressing as needed)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting the vegetables and chickpeas.
- Prepare Vegetables: On a large baking sheet, spread out the broccoli florets, halved Brussels sprouts, cubed sweet potato, and sliced onion. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with half of the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything well to ensure an even coating of oil and seasoning.
- Roast Vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through the cooking time. Roast until the vegetables are tender and have a nice browned color.
- Prepare Chickpeas: While the vegetables roast, on a separate baking sheet, toss the drained chickpeas with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the remaining garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out evenly.
- Roast Chickpeas: Roast the chickpeas in the oven for about 15 minutes until they turn golden and crispy. Shake the pan or stir once halfway through for even roasting.
- Make Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the tahini, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar. Add water gradually (2 to 4 tablespoons) to thin the dressing to your preferred consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the roasted vegetables and crispy chickpeas among serving bowls. Drizzle generously with the maple Dijon tahini dressing. Serve warm for a comforting and flavorful meal.
Notes
- You can customize the vegetables based on seasonal availability or preference.
- For extra protein, add cooked quinoa or brown rice as a base.
- Make sure chickpeas are rinsed and thoroughly dried before roasting for crispier texture.
- The dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Adjust the thickness of the dressing by adding water slowly until desired consistency is reached.
