How to Make Roasted Veggie Bliss Bowls
Start by preheating the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment. Toss the sweet potato cubes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper, and place them on one side of the sheet. In a bowl, toss the zucchini, bell pepper, and onion with another tablespoon olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread next to the sweet potatoes. Scatter chickpeas over vegetables, drizzle with the last tablespoon of oil, and toss lightly.
Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway, until vegetables are golden and tender. Meanwhile, whisk tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, salt, and water in a bowl until smooth.
To serve, divide cooked quinoa among bowls, top with roasted vegetables and chickpeas, drizzle with dressing, and garnish with parsley.
For a creative twist, serve alongside garlic rosemary focaccia muffins or easy gluten-free pita bread.
Tips for Perfect Roasted Veggie Bliss Bowls
- Cut vegetables evenly so they cook uniformly.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet—use two if needed.
- Preheat your oven fully for the best caramelization.
