Ingredients

Scale

2 medium sweet potatoes

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, well-drained and rinsed

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 cups mixed greens or baby spinach

1/2 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the sweet potatoes by peeling (or leaving skin on) and cubing into roughly 1-inch pieces. Toss with half the olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on one side of the baking sheet.

Pat the chickpeas dry and toss with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on the other half of the baking sheet.

Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until sweet potatoes are golden and tender, chickpeas are crispy outside and soft inside.

While roasting, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup or honey, water, and a pinch of salt to prepare the dressing.

Assemble the bowl by layering greens and cooked quinoa or rice if using. Add roasted sweet potatoes and chickpeas, then avocado slices and pickled red onions. Drizzle dressing over and sprinkle optional toppings.
