Instructions

  1. Prepare Roasted Carrots and Cauliflower: Preheat your oven to 425℉ (220°C). Chop the carrots and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spray or brush lightly with oil. Arrange the cauliflower and carrots in a single layer on the sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes. After this, remove from oven, drizzle with lemon juice, and sprinkle parsley if using. Return to oven and roast for another 5-10 minutes until the cauliflower turns golden brown.
  2. Prepare Roasted Chickpeas and Sweet Potatoes: While the vegetables roast, rinse and drain the chickpeas, then dry them well with a paper towel to remove moisture and any loose skins. On a separate rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper, toss chickpeas with olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Place the chickpeas on half of the baking sheet in a single layer. Dice the sweet potato and arrange on the other half of the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven alongside the other tray for about 20-28 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. Make Tahini Yogurt Sauce: In a food processor or blender, combine Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, ground cumin, and salt. Blend for about 60 seconds until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
  4. Assemble the Glow Bowl: In serving bowls, spread a generous amount of the tahini yogurt sauce on the base. Layer on arugula or your choice of greens, followed by roasted sweet potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, and chickpeas. Add your favorite toppings such as nuts, seeds, or avocado slices, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant, nutrient-packed meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute the Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt for a vegan-friendly option.
  • Adjust spices according to your personal heat and flavor preferences.
  • Roasting times may vary depending on your oven; watch the vegetables and chickpeas for caramelization and crispness.
  • Toasting the chickpeas a second time after adding lemon juice is not necessary, but enhances flavor for the carrots and cauliflower.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Adding toppings like toasted almonds, pumpkin seeds, or fresh herbs adds extra texture and flavor.
