Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced zucchini, chopped carrot, broccoli florets, red onion, and rinsed chickpeas. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly across the baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. While the veggies are roasting, whisk together tahini, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Gradually add water until desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. In four serving bowls, divide the cooked quinoa or rice as the base. Top each with the roasted veggies and chickpeas, then drizzle with the dressing and finish with fresh parsley or cilantro.
