Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425℉/220°C.

  3. Add the cauliflower and carrots in a single layer on the sheet pan and coat with oil and spice mix.
  4. Cook veggies in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
  5. Remove from the oven, add the lemon juice and parsley, and return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes or until the cauliflower is golden brown.
  6. For roasted chickpeas and sweet potatoes, line another rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Rinse and drain chickpeas, then dry them with a paper towel or dish cloth, discarding any loose skins.
  8. Toss the chickpeas with extra virgin olive oil and a spice blend until well coated, placing them on half of the baking sheet.
  9. Add diced sweet potatoes to the other half, drizzling with oil and seasoning with salt and pepper.
  10. Roast in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 20-28 minutes.
  11. To make tahini yogurt sauce, combine tahini, yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, and salt in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
  12. To assemble the bowl, add the tahini yogurt sauce to a dish and top with arugula, roasted sweet potatoes, cauliflower and carrots, and roasted chickpeas. Add your favorite toppings and a squeeze of lemon. Enjoy!
