How to Make Roasted Veggie Chickpea Bowls with Maple Dijon Tahini Dressing Recipe

Prepare the Vegetables

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the broccoli, Brussels sprouts, sweet potato, and onion with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure everything is evenly coated for consistent roasting.

Roast the Vegetables

Spread veggies on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway. You want tender, golden-brown veggies with caramelized edges. The aroma alone is irresistible!

Prepare the Chickpeas

Toss drained chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on a separate baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes until crisp and lightly golden. They add a delightful crunch to your bowl.

Make the Maple Dijon Tahini Dressing

In a medium bowl, whisk tahini, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and water until smooth. Adjust water for thickness and season with salt and pepper. The creamy, tangy dressing pulls the bowl together beautifully.

Assemble the Bowls

Divide roasted veggies and chickpeas into bowls. Drizzle generously with Maple Dijon Tahini Dressing. You can always add extra on the side for those who love more sauce.

Additional Tips for Making this Recipe Better

I like to roast chickpeas and veggies on separate sheets for perfect crispiness.
I sometimes swap in my favorite seasonal veggies for variety.
Adding a pinch of smoked paprika really enhances the roasted flavor.
I drizzle extra dressing at the end—it makes the bowl more indulgent.
Toasting tahini before making the dressing gives a nuttier flavor I love.
