Roasted Veggie Bowl Recipe

There’s something so cozy and satisfying about a Roasted Veggie Bowl! It’s comforting, colorful, and packed with flavor. I make versions of this on repeat all year long, but this combo of crispy roasted potatoes, savory chickpeas, fluffy quinoa, and a garlicky green tahini sauce might be my favorite yet. It’s comforting but still fresh, filling but not heavy. Whether you're meal prepping for the week or just trying to use up those veggies in the fridge, this bowl is a total win.

Ingredients
  

For the quinoa:
  • 1 cup dried quinoa
  • 1 ½ cups water or chicken broth. If using water add ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp olive oil
For the roasted veggies:
  • 1 large potato diced
  • 1 sweet potato diced
  • 1 head of broccoli cut into florets
  • 1 red onion sliced into thin slices
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 to 1 ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¾ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ cup freshly grated parmesan or ¼ cup pre-grated, added at the end of roasting.
For the chickpeas:
  • 1 16 oz can of chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • tsp cayenne
For the tahini sauce:
  • 4-6 cloves of garlic
  • ½ cup tahini paste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice and zest of one lemon
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½-1 tsp salt
  • handful of fresh parsley
  • Ice water as needed to adjust consistency

Method
 

  1. Cook the quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa, water or chicken broth, olive oil, and salt (if using water). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  2. Roast the veggies: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Add the diced potato, sweet potatoes, broccoli florets, and red onion slices to a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and paprika. Toss until evenly coated. Spread the veggies in a single layer on a large baking sheet (use two if needed to avoid overcrowding). Roast for 30–35 minutes, tossing halfway through, until tender and golden brown with crispy edges. When the veggies have about 5-10 minutes left, sprinkle the parmesan on top.
  3. Air fry the chickpeas. Pat the chickpeas dry with a towel. Toss with olive oil, salt, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne until well coated. Air fry at 380°F for 15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes, until crispy.
  4. Make the green tahini sauce: In a food processor or blender, combine garlic cloves, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, cumin, salt and parsley. Blend until smooth. Slowly add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches a pourable consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed with more salt.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked quinoa between four bowls. Top each with a generous portion of roasted veggies. Drizzle with garlic tahini sauce and enjoy.
