Roasted Veggie Glow Bowls with Lemon-Tahini Dressing

Roasted sweet potatoes and cauliflower with farro, black beans, crispy chickpeas, avocado & herby lemon tahini

There’s something magic about roasted cauliflower—it gets golden, a little crispy on the edges, and soaks up every bit of flavor like a sponge. Paired with farro and a lemon maple tahini dressing that’s equal parts sweet, tangy, and creamy, this bowl is pure comfort. Easy to prep, easy to love—this one will be a hit at any get together with friends and family!

🥗 Ingredients

For the Bowl:

  • 1 cup cooked farro

  • 1 sweet potato, cubed

  • 1 cup cauliflower florets

  • 1 15 oz can black beans, warmed with cumin and lime

  • Salt, pepper, smoked paprika (to taste)

  • 1 tsp each cumin and garam masala (for chickpeas)

  • Optional toppings: crispy chickpeas, avocado slices, vegan feta

For the Lemon Tahini Dressing:

  • 2 tbsp tahini or agave

  • 1 tsp maple syrup

  • Juice of one lemon

  • 1 clove of garlic, minced

  • 2–4 tbsp warm water (to thin)

  • Salt to taste

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. Toss cauliflower and sweet potato with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Spread on a sheet pan and roast 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.

  3. Toss chickpeas with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin and garam masala and spread on another smaller sheet pan. These can also go in the heated oven on another shelf — but check them after 20 minutes, flipping halfway.

  4. Cook farro if not already prepared.

  5. Whisk dressing ingredients until smooth and pourable.

  6. Assemble bowls with farro, roasted veggies, black beans, fresh parsley and lemon tahini drizzle.

  7. Top with crispy chickpeas or add nuts/seeds of your choice (I love to add avocado!)

🧺 Serving Tips

  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

💚 Make It Your Own

This salad is super flexible:

  • Sub wild rice or farro for quinoa to make it gluten free.

  • Add avocado — you can never go wrong with that!

  • If you’re not a fan of black beans, add another legume (I love using cannellini beans).
