Ingredients
| Qty | Item |
|---|---|
| 2 large | Sweet potatoes, cubed |
| 1 can | Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed |
| 3 tbsp | Extra virgin olive oil |
| 1 tsp | Smoked paprika |
| 1 tsp | Ground cumin |
| 1 cup | Quinoa, dry |

How to Make Roasted Sweet Potato Bowls
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the cubed sweet potatoes and chickpeas with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper directly on the baking sheet.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the chickpeas are slightly crispy.
While roasting, cook the quinoa according to package instructions using water or vegetable broth for extra flavor.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the tahini, maple syrup, lemon juice, and 1-2 tablespoons of warm water until smooth and pourable.
In a large bowl, lightly massage the kale with a drizzle of olive oil and salt to soften the leaves.
Assemble the bowls by layering the cooked quinoa, kale, roasted sweet potatoes, and chickpeas. Drizzle generously with the maple-tahini dressing and serve immediately.
Tips for Best Results
-
·
Cut the sweet potato cubes into uniform 1/2-inch pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
-
·
Dry the chickpeas thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel before roasting to achieve maximum crispiness.
-
·
Massage the kale for at least 60 seconds; this breaks down the tough fibers and makes it much more palatable.
-
·
If the tahini dressing is too thick, add warm water one teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
