1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Salt, to taste

For the Maple Dijon Tahini Dressing:

3 tablespoons tahini

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2-3 tablespoons water (to thin)

Salt and pepper, to taste

For Assembly:

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

      Prepare the Veggies:

        In a large bowl, combine the diced zucchini, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.

          Roast the Vegetables:

            Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, tossing halfway through.

              Season the Chickpeas:

                While the veggies are roasting, in another bowl, combine drained chickpeas with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ground cumin, chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Toss well to coat.

                  Roast the Chickpeas:

                    Spread the seasoned chickpeas onto a separate baking sheet. Add them to the oven during the last 15 minutes of the veggie roasting time. Roast until crispy and golden.

                      Make the Dressing:

                        In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and water until smooth. Adjust thickness by adding more water as desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

                          Assemble the Bowls:

                            In serving bowls, layer cooked quinoa or brown rice (if using), followed by the roasted veggies and crispy chickpeas.

                              Drizzle and Garnish:

                                Generously drizzle the Maple Dijon Tahini Dressing over the bowls. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro.

                                  Serve:

                                    Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Roasted Veggie & Chickpea Bowls warm or at room temperature!
