Tahini Yogurt Sauce
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt, any fat content)
- ¼ cup tahini
- 1 large lemon, juiced (about ¼ cup)
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp salt
Additional
- Arugula or greens of choice (optional)
- Toppings of choice (optional)
- Roast Carrots and Cauliflower: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Chop the carrots and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray or brush with oil. Arrange the cauliflower and carrots in a single layer. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven, toss with fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley (if using), then return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes until the cauliflower is golden brown and tender.
- Roast Chickpeas and Sweet Potatoes: While the first veggies roast, prepare another rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Rinse and drain chickpeas thoroughly, pat dry, and discard loose skins. In a medium bowl, toss chickpeas with 2 tablespoons olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread chickpeas on half of the baking sheet. Dice sweet potatoes and place on the other half, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast on the middle rack in the same preheated oven for 20-28 minutes until chickpeas are crispy and sweet potatoes are tender, tossing halfway through for even cooking.
- Make Tahini Yogurt Sauce: While the vegetables roast, combine the tahini, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, and salt in a food processor or blender. Blend for about 60 seconds until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add water one tablespoon at a time until desired texture is reached.
- Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, spread a generous layer of tahini yogurt sauce. Top with a handful of fresh arugula or preferred greens. Add roasted sweet potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, and crispy chickpeas. Finish with your choice of additional toppings and a fresh squeeze of lemon juice. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant, nutrient-dense glow bowl!
Notes
- Vegetables can be swapped or supplemented with other favorites such as zucchini, broccoli, or bell peppers.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
- Adjust spice levels according to your taste preference by adding more or less paprika and cumin.
- Serving with greens is optional but adds freshness and extra nutrients.
- If you do not have a food processor, you can whisk the tahini sauce ingredients vigorously by hand, though the texture may be less smooth.
- Leftover components can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 3 days.
