Instructions

  1. Roast Carrots and Cauliflower: Preheat your oven to 425℉ (220°C). Chop the carrots and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray or brush with oil. Place the cauliflower and carrots in a single layer on the baking sheet, then coat evenly with 2 tablespoons olive oil and the spice mix consisting of ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, then remove from the oven to drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with parsley. Return the vegetables to the oven and roast for another 5-10 minutes until the cauliflower is golden brown.
  2. Roast Chickpeas and Sweet Potatoes: While the first batch roasts, prepare another rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Rinse and drain chickpeas thoroughly and dry them well by patting with paper towels, discarding any loose skins. In a medium bowl, toss chickpeas with 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ⅕ teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated. Arrange chickpeas on one half of the baking sheet in a single layer. Dice sweet potatoes and toss with a bit of oil, salt, and pepper, then spread on the other half of the baking sheet. Roast on the middle rack for 20-28 minutes, turning halfway if desired, until crispy on the chickpeas and tender on the sweet potatoes.
  3. Make Tahini Yogurt Sauce: While the veggies roast, combine 1 cup Greek yogurt, ¼ cup tahini, juice of 1 large lemon (about ¼ cup), 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 clove garlic, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, and ½ teaspoon salt in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth, about 60 seconds. If a thinner consistency is preferred, add water one tablespoon at a time until desired texture is reached.
  4. Assemble the Glow Bowl: To assemble, spread a generous amount of tahini yogurt sauce on the bottom of your bowl. Layer with arugula or your choice of greens, followed by roasted sweet potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, and crispy chickpeas. Add any additional toppings of your choice and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Serve immediately and enjoy a nutritious, colorful, and flavorful meal.

Notes

  • Oven temperatures may vary, so adjust cooking times as needed to ensure vegetables are tender and golden.
  • Toss chickpeas well to achieve crispiness; drying them thoroughly before roasting helps.
  • You can substitute plant-based yogurt for a vegan or dairy-free option.
  • Add your favorite toppings such as pumpkin seeds, avocado slices, or fresh herbs for extra flavor and texture.
  • This recipe can be prepared ahead; store roasted vegetables and sauce separately and assemble before serving.
