• 1 bell pepper, sliced
• 1 zucchini, chopped
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven heats up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Season and Roast
In a large bowl, toss the chickpeas and vegetables with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread everything out evenly on the baking sheet.
Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the veggies are tender and slightly crispy.
Step 3: Whisk the Dressing
Meanwhile, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and water until smooth and creamy. Adjust the water amount to achieve your desired consistency.
Step 4: Assemble Your Bowls
Divide the roasted veggies and chickpeas into bowls. Add a scoop of quinoa or rice if desired. Drizzle generously with the maple tahini dressing, then top with avocado slices and seeds for added texture.
Tips for the Best Veggie Bowls
• Mix up your veggies: Use what’s in season — Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, or kale work wonderfully.
• Meal prep friendly: Store components separately in airtight containers for easy grab-and-go lunches.
• Make it heartier: Add grilled tofu, tempeh, or even roasted salmon if you’re not strictly plant-based.
Why Maple Tahini is a Game-Changer
The maple tahini dressing brings everything together! The nutty tahini balances the natural sweetness of maple syrup, while the tang from lemon and vinegar adds brightness. It’s not only delicious but also packed with healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals.
