Instructions

1

Cook the Quinoa

Rinse quinoa under cold water. Combine with 2 cups of water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until water is absorbed.

2

Roast the Vegetables

Preheat oven to 400F. Toss sweet potato cubes and chickpeas with olive oil and smoked paprika. Spread on a baking sheet and roast until golden and tender.

3

Make the Dressing

Whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and 2 to 3 tablespoons of water until smooth and pourable. Season with salt to taste.

4

Assemble the Bowl

Divide cooked quinoa between two bowls. Arrange roasted sweet potato, chickpeas, baby spinach, and avocado slices over the quinoa.

5

Dress and Serve

Drizzle tahini dressing generously over each bowl. Add optional toppings like sesame seeds or red pepper flakes and serve immediately.

Common mistakes

Do not overcrowd the baking sheet or the vegetables will steam instead of roast
Do not dress the bowl too far in advance or the greens will wilt
