Ingredients

For the Grain Bowls

  • 1 cup Bob’s Red Mill Organic Whole Grain Tri-Color Quinoa
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
  • 1 cup cooked Arrowhead Mills Organic Chickpeas
  • 1 tablespoon Simply Organic Lemon Pepper seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon turmeric
  • 1 zucchini cut into chunks
  • 1 cup tender greens baby kale, arugula, or spinach
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese optional

For the Lemon-Tahini Sauce

  • cup Dastony 100% Organic Sesame Tahini
  • cup water
  • ½ lemon juiced
  • 1 garlic clove minced

Instructions

  • Heat your oven to 450ºF.
  • Combine the quinoa and 2 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for at least 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, add the olive oil and cauliflower florets to a large mixing bowl. Toss to coat. Lift the cauliflower out of the bowl, letting any excess oil drip back into the bowl; arrange in a single layer on half of a baking sheet. Add the chickpeas, lemon pepper seasoning, and turmeric to the bowl; toss to coat. Spread the chickpeas on the other half of the baking sheet. Sprinkle everything with salt and pepper.
  • Roast for 15 minutes. Flip the vegetables over, and add the zucchini. Roast another 15 minutes.
  • While the vegetables cook, prepare the sauce by whisking the tahini, water, lemon juice, and garlic together in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, divide the quinoa between four bowls. Top with roast vegetables and chickpeas, greens, and feta. Drizzle with lemon-tahini sauce. Any leftover sauce will keep for several days in the refrigerator.
