Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for chickpeas)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for vegetables)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 12 tbsp warm water (to thin dressing)
  • Salt to taste (for dressing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Pat chickpeas dry and toss with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Spread on one baking sheet.

  4. Roast chickpeas and vegetables for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway, until crispy and golden.
  5. While roasting, whisk together tahini, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and salt. Add warm water gradually until dressing reaches desired consistency.
  6. To assemble, divide quinoa or rice into bowls, top with roasted veggies and chickpeas, and drizzle with maple Dijon tahini dressing.
