  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Garlic powder (optional)
  • Onion powder (optional)
  • Smoked paprika (optional)
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and chop all your chosen vegetables into roughly similar-sized pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil, a generous pinch of salt, and a good grind of black pepper. Spread them out in a single layer on a large baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes.
  3. Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water and pat them completely dry. Toss the dried chickpeas with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon of cumin, and a pinch of salt. Spread them on a separate small baking sheet.
  4. After the first 20-25 minutes for the veggies, give them a good stir and add the seasoned chickpeas to the oven. Continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl or jar, combine ¼ cup tahini, 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 small clove of garlic (minced), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk vigorously until smooth, adding cold water gradually until the dressing reaches your desired consistency.
  6. Cook quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions or prepare your fresh mixed greens.
  7. Divide your cooked grain or fresh greens among serving bowls. Top generously with the warm roasted vegetables and crispy chickpeas.
  8. Drizzle a generous amount of the Maple Dijon Tahini Dressing over everything and add any optional toppings you desire. Serve immediately.
