Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables & Chickpeas
- 1 head cauliflower (or 12 oz precut florets)
- 3 large carrots
- 1 can chickpeas (15.5 oz), drained and rinsed
- 1 sweet potato, peeled and cubed
Tahini Yogurt Dressing
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt)
- ¼ cup tahini
- Juice of 2 lemons
Seasonings & Oil
- Olive oil, for tossing and roasting
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Paprika, to taste
- Cumin, to taste
- Oregano, to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Roast Cauliflower and Carrots: Toss the cauliflower florets and sliced carrots with olive oil and a mix of garlic powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on one baking sheet and roast for about 25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes and Chickpeas: On the other baking sheet, toss the cubed sweet potatoes and the drained chickpeas with olive oil and the same seasoning blend. Roast for 20-28 minutes until the sweet potatoes are soft and chickpeas are golden and crisp.
- Make the Tahini Yogurt Dressing: While the veggies roast, blend the tahini, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice together until smooth and creamy to create a tangy and rich dressing.
- Assemble the Nourish Bowls: Start assembling the bowls by layering in the tahini yogurt dressing, then adding the roasted vegetables and chickpeas. Finish with optional toppings such as fresh arugula, nuts, or seeds for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute plant-based yogurt to make the dish vegan.
- Adjust the spices and lemon juice to suit your taste preferences.
- For a nuttier flavor, toast the tahini lightly before blending.
- Add fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro as optional garnishes.
- This dish pairs well with quinoa or brown rice for added bulk.
