Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss 2 cups chopped broccoli, 1 cup chopped bell peppers, 1 cup chopped zucchini, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 tablespoons olive oil on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes until vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
  2. Step 2: Rinse 1 cup quinoa under cold water until water runs clear. In a medium pot, combine quinoa with 2 cups water, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Let sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  3. Step 3: Drain and rinse 1 can chickpeas (15 ounces) thoroughly. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 3 tablespoons tahini, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons water until smooth and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Assemble bowls: Divide cooked quinoa between 4 bowls, top with roasted vegetables, chickpeas, and 1 tablespoon chopped parsley. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons lemon-tahini dressing per bowl.
