Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 large carrots, cut into sticks
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes (or small tomatoes), halved
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 3 cups kale (or baby spinach), chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (white + black if you have them)
  • For the dressing: 1/3 cup tahini
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated or minced
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 36 tbsp warm water (to thin to drizzle consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Pat chickpeas dry with paper towels (this helps them crisp).
  3. Toss broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, and red onion with 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on the sheet pan.
  4. Toss chickpeas with remaining 1/2 tbsp olive oil plus a pinch of salt and paprika, then add to the pan (or a second pan if crowded).
  5. Roast 25–30 minutes, stirring once halfway, until veggies are caramelized and chickpeas are crisp.
  6. While roasting, make the dressing: whisk tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup (if using), garlic, and salt. Add warm water 1 tbsp at a time until smooth and drizzle-able.
  7. Add kale to a bowl and lightly massage for 30 seconds (optional but makes it more tender).
  8. Assemble bowls: add greens, top with roasted veggies and chickpeas, drizzle with tahini dressing, and finish with parsley and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Store components separately for meal prep.
  • Double the chickpeas for extra protein and crunch.
  • Use baby spinach if you don’t like kale.
  • Dressing can be made ahead and stored in the fridge.
