Ingredients
Method
15 mins prep30 mins cook45 mins total
Heat oven to 210C fan and line two baking trays.
Toss sweet potato and chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Spread on trays and roast for 28 to 32 minutes, turning once, until sweet potato is tender and edges are caramelised.
Meanwhile cook quinoa according to packet instructions and fluff with a fork.
Whisk tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup and enough water to make a pourable dressing.
Assemble bowls with quinoa, spinach, cabbage and cucumber, then top with roasted sweet potato and chickpeas.
Drizzle over dressing and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Roast the chickpeas until slightly crisp for better texture in the bowl.
Cooked quinoa, bulgur or brown rice all work well as the grain base.
Keep dressing separate for meal prep and add just before serving.
