Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to ![425°F]. Line a large baking sheet (or two) with parchment paper. Spread the cubed sweet potatoes on one side and the dried chickpeas on the other. Drizzle the sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil and the chickpeas with 1 tablespoon. Sprinkle the smoked paprika, garlic powder, and fine sea salt evenly over both. Toss each side separately to coat well, then spread everything into a single layer.

Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping the sweet potatoes and shaking the chickpeas halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized at the edges and the chickpeas are golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside.

While the vegetables roast, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over ^[medium-high heat], then reduce to a ^[low simmer], cover, and cook for 15 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it steam, covered, for 5 more minutes. Fluff with a fork and season lightly with fine sea salt.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, minced garlic, and a pinch of fine sea salt. Add the warm water one tablespoon at a time, whisking until the dressing is smooth and pourable. Taste and adjust lemon juice or fine sea salt as needed.

Divide the quinoa among four bowls. Arrange a handful of greens, a portion of roasted sweet potatoes, crispy chickpeas, sliced avocado, and shredded red cabbage in each bowl. Drizzle generously with the tahini dressing, then scatter sesame seeds and fresh herbs over the top. Serve immediately.
