Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
