Instructions

  1. Roast Carrots and Cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Chop the carrots and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray or brush with oil. Spread the cauliflower and carrots in a single layer on the sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper; toss to coat evenly. Roast for 25-30 minutes until beginning to brown, then remove from oven. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with parsley if using, return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until golden brown and tender.
  2. Roast Chickpeas and Sweet Potatoes: While the first sheet roasts, prepare a second rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Rinse and drain the chickpeas, pat dry, and discard loose skins. In a bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until coated. Arrange chickpeas on half the baking sheet. Add diced sweet potatoes on the other half, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven alongside the other sheet for 20-28 minutes, stirring halfway through, until chickpeas are crispy and sweet potatoes are tender.
  3. Prepare Tahini Yogurt Sauce: In a food processor or blender, combine Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic clove, ground cumin, and salt. Blend for about 60 seconds until smooth and creamy. If desired, add water a tablespoon at a time to thin the sauce to your preferred consistency.
  4. Assemble the Glow Bowl: In serving bowls, spread a generous amount of tahini yogurt sauce as the base. Layer with fresh arugula or greens if using, then top with roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, cauliflower, and carrots. Add any additional toppings such as nuts, seeds, avocado, or fresh herbs. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Serve immediately and enjoy your nutrient-rich glow bowl.

Notes

  • If you prefer a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt.
  • Cooking times may vary due to oven differences; keep an eye on vegetables to avoid burning.
  • Feel free to add other roasted vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers for variety.
  • The tahini sauce can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Using fresh lemon juice enhances the brightness of the dish.
