Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for roasting)

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing chickpeas)

  • 1 teaspoon cumin

  • 1 teaspoon turmeric

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach

  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • ½ cup tahini

  • ½ cup plain yogurt

  • Juice from 1 lemon

  • Water (for tahini yogurt sauce, as needed)


Instructions

  1. Cook the Quinoa:
    Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. Combine the quinoa with 2 cups of water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. Roast the Sweet Potatoes:
    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss diced sweet potatoes in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and tender.

  3. Sauté the Chickpeas:
    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the drained chickpeas, cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Sauté for about 10 minutes, or until crispy and golden.

  4. Make the Tahini Yogurt Sauce:
    In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Add water, a tablespoon at a time, until the sauce is smooth and pourable.

  5. Assemble the Bowl:
    In each bowl, layer the cooked quinoa as the base. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed chickpeas, fresh spinach, and slices of avocado. Drizzle with the tahini yogurt sauce and sprinkle with any extra seasoning or seeds you like.

Notes

  • Customization Tips: Feel free to swap out spinach for other greens like kale or arugula, or add other roasted vegetables like Brussels sprouts or beets.

 

  • Storage: The components of this bowl (quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, and chickpeas) can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble the bowl fresh and drizzle with sauce when ready to eat.
