A healthy and flavorful vegan lunch bowl packed with roasted vegetables, protein-rich chickpeas, and quinoa, all drizzled with a creamy tahini dressing.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cook Quinoa: In a saucepan, combine quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy. Set aside.
Prepare Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss broccoli, bell pepper, red onion, and chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast Vegetables: Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and slightly browned. Flip halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Make Tahini Dressing: While vegetables are roasting, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, and water in a small bowl until smooth. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency.
Assemble Bowls: Divide cooked quinoa among bowls. Top with roasted vegetables and chickpeas. Drizzle generously with tahini dressing. Serve immediately.
