Ingredients
  

For the Roasted Veggies
  • 1 medium Zucchini Adds moisture and a mild flavor; substitute with eggplant for a different texture.
  • 1 medium Carrot Provides sweetness and crunch; use parsnips for a unique flavor boost.
  • 1 cup Broccoli Florets Offers a nutrient-rich, earthy component; cauliflower can be a fantastic alternative.
  • 1 medium Red Onion Contributes a sharp flavor that mellows when roasted; shallots can be used for a sweeter option.
  • 15 oz Chickpeas The base protein source that adds heartiness; black beans can be swapped for variation.
For the Dressing
  • ¼ cup Tahini Acts as a creamy base for the dressing, providing nuttiness; sunflower seed butter may work for nut-free diets.
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard Adds a tangy flavor profile; yellow mustard can be used in a pinch.
  • 1 tbsp Maple Syrup Balances the dressing’s acidity with natural sweetness; honey can be swapped if not strictly vegan.
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice Fresh acidity for brightness; vinegar can substitute in a different flavor profile.
  • 2 tbsp Water Ensures the dressing reaches a pourable consistency; adjust as needed for thickness.
For Roasting
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Essential for roasting and flavor; avocado oil can replace for a higher smoke point.
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika Adds depth and smokiness; regular paprika is a suitable substitute.
  • to taste Salt Essential seasoning to enhance natural flavors.
  • to taste Pepper Essential seasoning to enhance natural flavors.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add your chopped zucchini, sliced carrot, broccoli florets, and diced red onion along with drained chickpeas. Drizzle with olive oil, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss everything thoroughly until well-coated.
  3. Spread the veggie and chickpea mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, lemon juice, and water until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Once done, let the roasted veggies cool slightly, then layer a generous portion of cooked quinoa or rice at the bottom of each bowl and top with the veggie and chickpea mix.
