Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets (or 12 oz precut cauliflower florets)
  • 3 large carrots, cut into round pieces
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (more as needed)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp salt (more to taste)
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ large lemon, juiced (about 2 Tbsp)
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 1 can chickpeas (15.5 oz-16 oz), rinsed and drained
  • 1 sweet potato, diced
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt (more to taste)
  • ⅕ tsp ground black pepper (more to taste)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt, any fat content works)
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 1 large lemon, juiced (about ¼ cup lemon juice)
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Arugula or greens of choice (optional)
  • Toppings of choice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your 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, then coat them with 2 Tbsp olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Remove the veggies from the oven and squeeze lemon juice over them. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if using. Return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes until the cauliflower turns golden brown.
  3. Step 3: While the veggies roast, prepare a second baking sheet with parchment paper. Rinse and drain the chickpeas, patting them dry and discarding loose skins. Toss chickpeas with 2 Tbsp olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add chickpeas to one half of the baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Add diced sweet potatoes to the other half of the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast chickpeas and sweet potatoes for 20-28 minutes, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
  5. Step 5: While everything roasts, blend the tahini yogurt sauce. Combine tahini, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, ground cumin, and salt in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth, adding water a tablespoon at a time if you prefer a thinner consistency.
  6. Step 6: To assemble, spread tahini yogurt sauce in bowls. Top with arugula or greens if desired, followed by the roasted sweet potatoes, cauliflower and carrots, and chickpeas. Add your favorite toppings and a squeeze of lemon. Serve and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

  • Swap sweet potatoes with butternut squash or pumpkin for a different flavor.
  • Use smoked paprika for a deeper, smoky taste in the roasted veggies and chickpeas.
  • Try a plant-based yogurt to make this dish vegan-friendly.
  • Add a handful of toasted nuts or seeds for extra crunch.

Storage

Store leftover roasted vegetables, chickpeas, and tahini yogurt sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the veggies and chickpeas gently in the oven or microwave before assembling the bowl. The sauce is best served chilled or at room temperature.

Instructions

  1. Roast Cauliflower and Carrots: Preheat your oven to 425℉ (220°C). Chop the cauliflower and carrots 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 pan. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until starting to soften. Remove from oven, add lemon juice and chopped parsley, then return to oven for an additional 5-10 minutes or until cauliflower is golden and tender.
  2. Roast Chickpeas and Sweet Potatoes: On a separate rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper, prepare the chickpeas by rinsing, draining, and patting dry, removing loose skins. In a medium bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Arrange chickpeas on one half of the baking sheet. Dice sweet potatoes and place them on the other half of the sheet. Drizzle sweet potatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 20-28 minutes, turning or stirring halfway through, until chickpeas are crispy and sweet potatoes are tender.
  3. Make Tahini Yogurt Sauce: While the vegetables roast, prepare the sauce. Combine tahini, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, and salt in a food processor or blender. Blend for approximately 60 seconds until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add water one tablespoon at a time until desired thickness is reached.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, spoon the tahini yogurt sauce as a base. Top with arugula or your greens of choice. Add portions of roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, cauliflower, and carrots. Finish with additional toppings of your choice and a fresh squeeze of lemon juice. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant, nourishing Glow Bowl!

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the vegetables to avoid burning.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt in the tahini sauce.
  • Feel free to customize toppings with nuts, seeds, avocado, or fresh herbs for extra texture and flavor.
  • Roasted chickpeas can be made in advance and re-crisped in the oven before serving.
  • If you want extra crunch, roast chickpeas separately from sweet potatoes as they have different optimal roasting times.
