Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 cups cooked quinoa (or your favorite grain)

1 cup kale, chopped (or spinach)

1 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup tahini

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional toppings: sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, red pepper flakes, dressing of choice

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Roast the Sweet Potatoes: On a baking sheet, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cumin. Spread them out in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden.

      Prepare the Chickpeas: In a separate bowl, toss the drained chickpeas with smoked paprika, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on another baking sheet and roast for about 15-20 minutes until crispy.

        Cook the Kale: In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of water or a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the chopped kale for about 3-5 minutes until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

          Make the Tahini Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, maple syrup, lemon juice, and enough water to achieve your desired consistency. It should be pourable but thick. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

            Assemble the Bowl: In a large serving bowl, start with a base of cooked quinoa. Arrange the roasted sweet potatoes, crispy chickpeas, sautéed kale, and avocado slices on top.

              Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle the tahini dressing over the bowl and sprinkle with any optional toppings such as sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, or red pepper flakes for an extra crunch and flavor.

                Enjoy: Toss everything together to combine or serve it as is, and enjoy your nourishing Sweet Potato Chickpea Power Bowl!
