Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup (91g) Broccoli (chopped into florets) - About 1 medium-sized stalk
  • 1 cup (267g) Sweet Potato (cut into ½-inch cubes) - About 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup (164g) Chickpeas (cooked, drained and rinsed) - About ⅔ of a 15-ounce can
  • 1 ½ tsp (10g) Lemon Juice (divided) - Juice from 1 lemon
  • 2 tsps (6g) Italian Seasoning - Available in spice jars
  • 2 tbsps (10g) Nutritional Yeast - Available in 4.5-ounce bottles
  • ½ cup (85g) Dry Quinoa - Available in 16-ounce bags
  • 1 cup (221g) Vegetable Broth - Available in 32-ounce cartons
  • 2 tsps (10g) Tahini - Available in 16-ounce jars
  • ½ cup (119g) Water (warm)
  • 2 (48g) Medjool Dates (pitted, chopped) - Available in 12-ounce containers
  • 2 tsps (3g) Pumpkin Seeds (optional) - Available in 8-ounce bags

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Transfer the chopped broccoli, sweet potatoes, and chickpeas to the prepared baking sheet. Season with half of the lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and nutritional yeast. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender and the chickpeas are crispy.
  • While the vegetables are roasting, add the quinoa and broth to a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Once cooked, remove from heat, fluff with a fork, and set aside.
  • While the quinoa cooks, combine the tahini, warm water, dates, and remaining lemon juice in a small blender. Blend until smooth.
  • To assemble, divide the quinoa and roasted vegetables between bowls. Drizzle with tahini sauce and top with pumpkin seeds (optional).

Notes

  • Leftovers: Store in the refrigerator for up to four days.
  • No Quinoa: Use rice or cauliflower rice instead.
  • No Broth: Use water instead.
  • Cooked Chickpeas: Use canned chickpeas to save time.
