Description

A vibrant bowl of roasted vegetables and chickpeas topped with Mediterranean add-ins and a creamy maple dijon tahini dressing.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 medium-large sweet potato, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and patted dry
  • ½ onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • ¼ cup toasted pine nuts or sunflower seeds
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 23 tablespoons warm water (to thin)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss broccoli, Brussels sprouts, sweet potato, onion, and chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add warm water gradually to reach your desired consistency.
  3. Divide the roasted veggies and chickpeas into bowls. Top with cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, parsley, and toasted pine nuts.
  4. Pour the Maple Dijon Tahini Dressing over the bowls and enjoy!

Notes

  • The veggies and chickpeas stay crispy for about 3 days in the fridge, making this perfect for meal prep.
  • Store the dressing separately to keep it fresh.
  • Try adding fresh cucumber for a crunchy summer variation.
  • For extra protein, top with a soft-boiled egg.
  • Experiment with different vegetables like cauliflower, bell peppers, or zucchini.
