Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Cook quinoa: Combine rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth/water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
- 3
While quinoa cooks, prepare vegetables: In a large bowl, toss diced sweet potato, red bell pepper, zucchini, and drained chickpeas with 1 tablespoon olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- 4
Roast vegetables: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized, and chickpeas are lightly crispy. Stir halfway through.
- 5
Prepare tahini lemon dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon water, minced garlic, maple syrup (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth. Add more water, a teaspoon at a time, until desired pourable consistency is reached.
- 6
Assemble bowls: Divide the cooked quinoa among four meal prep containers. Top each with a handful of fresh spinach or mixed greens. Add equal portions of the roasted vegetables and chickpeas to each bowl.
- 7
Store: Allow bowls to cool completely before covering and refrigerating. Store dressing separately in a small container. When ready to eat, drizzle dressing over the bowl and enjoy!
Pro Tips
This recipe packs 18g of protein per serving. For even more protein, add a scoop of plant-based protein powder or extra beans.
High in fiber at 14g per serving, this dish will keep you full and satisfied for hours.
Don't skip the seasoning. Vegan comfort food shines when you're generous with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
