- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 cup roasted sweet potatoes, cubed
- 1 cup steamed broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Toppings and Garnishes
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Sauce
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Other
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Cook Quinoa: Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions, typically by simmering in water until fluffy. Once cooked, set it aside to cool slightly.
- Steam Broccoli: Steam the broccoli florets until they are bright green and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Avoid overcooking to retain texture and nutrients.
- Prepare Tahini Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, ground turmeric, and ground ginger until smooth and creamy. Season with a pinch of salt to taste.
- Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked quinoa between serving bowls. Top each bowl with roasted sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli, shredded carrots, sliced avocado, and chickpeas.
- Add Sauce and Garnishes: Drizzle each bowl generously with the tahini yogurt sauce. Sprinkle the pumpkin seeds and chopped fresh parsley on top for added crunch and freshness.
Notes

- You can substitute quinoa with brown rice or cauliflower rice depending on your preference.
- Adjust the spices in the tahini yogurt sauce—more turmeric and ginger for greater warmth or reduce for milder flavor.
- This dish can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
