Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 cups mixed greens (spinach, kale, or spring mix)
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • For Tahini Dressing: 1/4 cup tahini, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons water (or more for desired consistency), 1 small clove garlic minced, pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets and chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the seasoned vegetables and chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and slightly caramelized.
  5. While the vegetables roast, prepare the tahini dressing. Whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Slowly add water until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency.
  6. To assemble the bowls, divide the mixed greens and cooked grain between two or four bowls.
  7. Top the greens and grain with the warm roasted cauliflower and chickpeas.
  8. Drizzle generously with the tahini dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy the flavor.

Notes

  • Feel free to add other roasted vegetables like sweet potato or red onion for extra color and nutrients.
  • This bowl tastes great cold too, making it an excellent option for meal prepping lunches.
  • For a richer flavor, toss the chickpeas with a pinch of cumin before roasting.
