Step 1: Prepare the Crispy Chickpeas

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Dry the rinsed chickpeas thoroughly with a kitchen towel or paper towels. The drier they are, the crispier they will get.
3. In a bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
4. Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Roast for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy.

Step 2: Roast the Vegetables

1. While the chickpeas are roasting, prepare the vegetables. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes, red bell pepper, and red onion with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika (if using).
2. Spread the vegetables evenly on another baking sheet.
3. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 3: Cook the Quinoa

1. While the chickpeas and veggies are roasting, cook the quinoa according to package instructions. Usually, this involves bringing 1 cup of quinoa and 2 cups of water or vegetable broth to a boil, then reducing the heat and simmering for 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
2. Once done, fluff the quinoa with a fork and set aside.

Step 4: Make the Maple Buffalo Tahini Sauce

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, hot sauce, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and salt.
2. Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches a creamy, pourable consistency.
3. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more hot sauce for extra spice or maple syrup for sweetness.

Step 5: Assemble the Bowls

1. Start by adding a base of cooked quinoa and mixed greens to each serving bowl.
2. Top with the roasted sweet potatoes, bell peppers, and onions.
3. Add a generous helping of the crispy chickpeas.
4. Drizzle the maple buffalo tahini sauce over the top.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

1. Garnish the bowls with chopped green onions for added freshness and a burst of flavor (optional).
2. Serve immediately and enjoy your Crispy Chickpea Bowls with Maple Buffalo Tahini Sauce while warm!
