Healthy, hearty and delicious Roasted Veggie Bowls with a scrumptious Tahini-White Wine Vinegar dressing.
These bowls are a great, satisfying meal. They are loaded with veggies, are high in fiber, and have a healthy dose of plant-based protein (from the chickpeas, quinoa and tahini). Best of all, they are super tasty and I can promise you everyone will love them. I know this because Juan devours them every time I make them, and when a junk food lover finds one of your wholesome recipes irresistible, then you know it’s a good one.
These veggie bowls have roasted carrots, new potatoes and, nutrition powerhouse, broccoli. There’s also fresh spinach -because you can never have too much spinach if you ask me-, crunchy chickpeas and lemony quinoa. All topped with a luscious tahini dressing. The mix of textures and flavors is incredible and I hope you love these bowls as much as we do!

ROASTED VEGETABLES
- Preheat the oven to 375 °F / 190 °C.

- Rinse well, add it to a small saucepan and cover it with lots of water. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes; until tender.
- Drain the quinoa, add it to a medium bowl and combine it with the chives, lemon juice, garlic powder and salt.
DRESSING
- Place all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until combined.
BOWLS
