Instructions
- Make Roasted Carrots and Cauliflower: Preheat oven to 425℉ (220°C). Chop the carrots and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil it. 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 well to coat all pieces evenly. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until tender and beginning to brown.
- Add Lemon Juice and Parsley: Remove the roasting sheet from the oven. Drizzle the veggies with lemon juice and sprinkle chopped parsley over them. Return the sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cauliflower is golden brown and caramelized. Cooking times may vary based on your oven.
- Roast Chickpeas and Sweet Potatoes: While the first sheet is roasting, prepare another rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Rinse and drain the chickpeas thoroughly, pat them dry, and discard any loose skins. In a medium bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well coated. Place the chickpeas on one half of the baking sheet in a single layer. On the other half, spread the diced sweet potatoes and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast this sheet in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 20-28 minutes until chickpeas are crispy and sweet potatoes are tender. Oven times may vary.
- Make Tahini Yogurt Sauce: While the vegetables roast, combine tahini, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, and salt in a food processor or blender. Blend for about 60 seconds until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If a thinner consistency is desired, add water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your preferred texture.
- Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, spread a generous amount of tahini yogurt sauce. Add a bed of arugula or your chosen greens if using. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, and crispy chickpeas. Add additional toppings or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your wholesome Glow Bowl.
