Ingredients
1 head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
3 large carrots, sliced into rounds
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed, drained, and patted dry
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons tahini
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1–2 tablespoons warm water (to thin sauce)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower, carrots, sweet potato, and dried chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the vegetable and chickpea mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and golden and the chickpeas are crispy.
While the vegetables roast, prepare the sauce by whisking together the Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
Add warm water, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired drizzling consistency.
Assemble the bowls by dividing the roasted vegetables and chickpeas into serving bowls and drizzling generously with the tahini yogurt sauce.
Notes
Feel free to swap the vegetables for whatever is in season or in your fridge, such as broccoli, red onion, or parsnips. You can store leftover roasted vegetables and chickpeas in an airtight container for up to 4 days, but store the sauce separately and drizzle just before serving.
