How to Make Glow Bowl : Roasted Veggie, Tahini Yogurt Sauce

Step 1: Roast the Carrots and Cauliflower

Start by preheating your oven to 425℉ (220°C). Chop the carrots and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces, then spread them out evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss with garlic powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to coat every piece. Roast these vibrant veggies for about 25-30 minutes until tender and beginning to brown. Then, add lemon juice and parsley for a fresh zing, returning them to the oven for another 5-10 minutes until the cauliflower achieves that gorgeous golden crispness.

Step 2: Roast Chickpeas and Sweet Potatoes

While the first tray roasts, prepare the chickpeas and sweet potatoes on a separate sheet. Rinse and dry the chickpeas well, removing any loose skins for the best texture. Toss them with olive oil and a blend of cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread the chickpeas on one side of the baking sheet and arrange diced sweet potatoes on the other. Give the sweet potatoes a light coat of oil and seasoning too. Roast these until the chickpeas turn crispy and the sweet potatoes are cooked through—usually around 20-28 minutes. The roasted sweetness and crisp chickpeas add incredible texture to your bowl.

Step 3: Whip Up the Tahini Yogurt Sauce

Now for the sauce that makes this Glow Bowl : Roasted Veggie, Tahini Yogurt Sauce truly shine. Combine tahini, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, one clove of garlic, cumin, and salt in a food processor or blender. Blend until silky smooth, which should take about 60 seconds. If you like it thinner, just add water a tablespoon at a time until you get your perfect creamy consistency. This sauce is luscious and tangy with a nutty undertone, perfect for drizzling generously.

Step 4: Assemble Your Glow Bowl

Here comes the fun part — bringing all these colorful components together. Start with a base of the tahini yogurt sauce on your plate or bowl. Layer in some fresh arugula or greens, then add the roasted sweet potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, and chickpeas artfully on top. Finish with your favorite toppings like toasted seeds, nuts, or fresh herbs and a bright squeeze of lemon juice. Every bite is a celebration of textures and flavors that warms the soul.

How to Serve Glow Bowl : Roasted Veggie, Tahini Yogurt Sauce

Garnishes

If you want to elevate your Glow Bowl : Roasted Veggie, Tahini Yogurt Sauce even further, consider garnishing with some toasted sesame seeds, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or parsley, or a dash of za’atar spice to boost earthiness. These finishing touches add little bursts of flavor and texture that make every bite memorable.

Side Dishes

This bowl packs so much flavor and nutrition on its own that it can easily be a complete meal, but if you want to serve it alongside something, light, fresh salads or warm flatbreads are excellent companions. A crisp cucumber salad with lemon vinaigrette or some warm pita wedges will balance the creamy tahini and roasted veggies beautifully.

Creative Ways to Present

For a stunning presentation, consider layering the ingredients in a clear glass jar for a grab-and-go lunch or arranging the components in a rainbow pattern for an Instagram-worthy meal. You can also serve the tahini yogurt sauce on the side for guests to add as they please, making it interactive and fun.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

You can store your leftover roasted veggies, chickpeas, and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Keeping the sauce and veggies apart helps maintain their textures and freshness.

Freezing

While roasted vegetables freeze well, the tahini yogurt sauce does not freeze properly due to the yogurt’s consistency. If you want to freeze, keep the veggies and chickpeas frozen in a sealed container for up to 2 months, then thaw overnight in the fridge and freshly whip up the sauce when ready to serve.

Reheating

Reheat the roasted components gently in the oven at 350℉ (175°C) or in a skillet to bring back their crispness. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can turn the roasted veggies soggy. Add cold tahini yogurt sauce fresh after warming your bowl for the best taste experience.
