Creating Roasted Veggie & Chickpea Bowls is a delightful experience. Follow these simple steps to ensure a flavorful and satisfying dish:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the broccoli, bell pepper, zucchini, and onion with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
3. Roast the Veggies: Spread the seasoned vegetables onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
4. Roast the Chickpeas: On another baking sheet, spread the rinsed chickpeas. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast during the last 15 minutes of the vegetable roasting time for a crispy texture.
5. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and water until smooth. Adjust the water amount to reach your desired consistency.
6. Combine Ingredients: Once the vegetables and chickpeas are roasted, combine them in a large bowl or serve individually in bowls.
7. Drizzle Dressing: Generously drizzle the Maple Dijon Tahini Dressing over the roasted veggies and chickpeas.
8. Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
