  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt (divided)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups mixed greens (or spinach)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional)
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (or 1/4 tsp garlic powder)
  • 3–5 tbsp warm water, to thin
  • Pinch of salt + pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss sweet potato cubes and chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, 1/2 tsp salt, and black pepper. Spread on a sheet pan and roast for 20 minutes.
  2. Toss broccoli with a tiny drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Add to the pan and roast 10 more minutes, until sweet potatoes are browned and broccoli is tender-crisp.
  3. Add couscous to a bowl. Pour in boiling water (or broth), cover, and let sit 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and season with remaining 1/4 tsp salt if needed.
  4. Stir tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, soy sauce, and garlic. Add warm water 1 tbsp at a time until drizzleable.
  5. Divide greens and couscous into bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, broccoli, tomatoes, avocado, and red onion.
  6. Drizzle with dressing, add herbs, and squeeze fresh lemon over the top.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Substitute quinoa or brown rice for couscous if preferred.
  • Adjust spices to your taste.
